2SA-13:39 And [the soul of] king David longed to go forth unto

Absalom:for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was

dead. <amnon> <comforted> <concerning> <david> <dead> <forth>

2SA-14:1 Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's

heart [was] toward Absalom. <heart> <joab> <now> <perceived>

2SA-14:2 And Joab sent to Tekoah, and fetched thence a wise

woman, and said unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a

mourner, and put on now mourning apparel, and anoint not thyself

with oil, but be as a woman that had a long time mourned for the

dead:<anoint> <apparel> <dead> <feign> <fetched> <had> <joab>

2SA-14:3 And come to the king, and speak on this manner unto him.

So Joab put the words in her mouth. <come> <him> <joab> <king>

2SA-14:4 And when the woman of Tekoah spake to the king, she

fell on her face to the ground, and did obeisance, and said,

Help, O king. <did> <face> <fell> <ground> <help> <king>

2SA-14:5 And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she

answered, I [am] indeed a widow woman, and mine husband is dead.

2SA-14:6 And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two strove

together in the field, and [there was] none to part them, but

the one smote the other, and slew him. <field> <had> <handmaid>

2SA-14:7 And, behold, the whole family is risen against thine

handmaid, and they said, Deliver him that smote his brother,

that we may kill him, for the life of his brother whom he slew;

and we will destroy the heir also:and so they shall quench my

coal which is left, and shall not leave to my husband [neither]

name nor remainder upon the earth. <against> <also> <behold>

2SA-14:8 And the king said unto the woman, Go to thine house,

and I will give charge concerning thee. <charge> <concerning>

2SA-14:9 And the woman of Tekoah said unto the king, My lord, O

king, the iniquity [be] on me, and on my father's house:and the

king and his throne [be] guiltless. <guiltless> <house>

2SA-14:10 And the king said, Whosoever saith [ought] unto thee,

bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more. <any>

2SA-14:11 Then said she, I pray thee, let the king remember the

LORD thy God, that thou wouldest not suffer the revengers of

blood to destroy any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said,

[As] the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall

to the earth. <any> <blood> <destroy> <earth> <fall> <god>

2SA-14:12 Then the woman said, Let thine handmaid, I pray thee,

speak [one] word unto my lord the king. And he said, Say on.

2SA-14:13 And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou thought

such a thing against the people of God? for the king doth speak

this thing as one which is faulty, in that the king doth not

fetch home again his banished. <again> <against> <banished>

2SA-14:14 For we must needs die, and [are] as water spilled on

the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God

respect [any] person:yet doth he devise means, that his banished

be not expelled from him. <again> <any> <are> <banished>

2SA-14:15 Now therefore that I am come to speak of this thing

unto my lord the king, [it is] because the people have made me

afraid:and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it

may be that the king will perform the request of his handmaid.

2SA-14:16 For the king will hear, to deliver his handmaid out of

the hand of the man [that would] destroy me and my son together

out of the inheritance of God. <deliver> <destroy> <god> <hand>

2SA-14:17 Then thine handmaid said, The word of my lord the king

shall now be comfortable:for as an angel of God, so [is] my lord

the king to discern good and bad:therefore the LORD thy God will

be with thee. <angel> <bad> <comfortable> <discern> <god> <good>

2SA-14:18 Then the king answered and said unto the woman, Hide

not from me, I pray thee, the thing that I shall ask thee. And

the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak. <answered> <ask>

2SA-14:19 And the king said, [Is not] the hand of Joab with thee

in all this? And the woman answered and said, [As] thy soul

liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to

the left from ought that my lord the king hath spoken:for thy

servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the

mouth of thine handmaid:<all> <answered> <bade> <can> <hand>

2SA-14:20 To fetch about this form of speech hath thy servant

Joab done this thing:and my lord [is] wise, according to the

wisdom of an angel of God, to know all [things] that [are] in

the earth. <all> <angel> <are> <done> <earth> <fetch> <form>

2SA-14:21 And the king said unto Joab, Behold now, I have done

this thing:go therefore, bring the young man Absalom again.

2SA-14:22 And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and bowed

himself, and thanked the king:and Joab said, To day thy servant

knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king,

in that the king hath fulfilled the request of his servant.

2SA-14:23 So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom

to Jerusalem. <arose> <brought> <geshur> <jerusalem> <joab> <so>

<went>

2SA-14:24 And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, and

let him not see my face. So Absalom returned to his own house,

and saw not the king's face. <face> <him> <house> <king> <let>

2SA-14:25 But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised

as Absalom for his beauty:from the sole of his foot even to the

crown of his head there was no blemish in him. <all> <beauty>

2SA-14:26 And when he polled his head, ( for it was at every

year's end that he polled [it] :because [the hair] was heavy on

him, therefore he polled it:) he weighed the hair of his head at

two hundred shekels after the king's weight. <after> <because>

2SA-14:27 And unto Absalom there were born three sons, and one

daughter, whose name [was] Tamar:she was a woman of a fair

countenance. <born> <countenance> <daughter> <fair> <name> <one>

2SA-14:28 So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and saw

not the king's face. <dwelt> <face> <full> <jerusalem> <saw>

2SA-14:29 Therefore Absalom sent for Joab, to have sent him to

the king; but he would not come to him:and when he sent again

the second time, he would not come. <again> <come> <have> <him>

2SA-14:30 Therefore he said unto his servants, See, Joab's field

is near mine, and he hath barley there; go and set it on fire.

And Absalom's servants set the field on fire. <barley> <field>

2SA-14:31 Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto [his] house,

and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field on

fire? <arose> <came> <field> <fire> <have> <him> <house> <joab>

2SA-14:32 And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee,

saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say,

Wherefore am I come from Geshur? [it had been] good for me [to

have been] there still:now therefore let me see the king's face;

and if there be [any] iniquity in me, let him kill me.

2SA-14:33 So Joab came to the king, and told him:and when he had

called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on

his face to the ground before the king:and the king kissed

Absalom. <before> <bowed> <called> <came> <face> <ground> <had>

2SA-15:1 And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared

him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.

2SA-15:2 And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of

the gate:and it was [so] , that when any man that had a

controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called

unto him, and said, Of what city [art] thou? And he said, Thy

servant [is] of one of the tribes of Israel. <any> <art>

2SA-15:3 And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters [are] good

and right; but [there is] no man [deputed] of the king to hear

thee. <are> <deputed> <good> <hear> <him> <king> <man> <matters>

2SA-15:4 Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the

land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come

unto me, and I would do him justice! <any> <cause> <come> <do>

2SA-15:5 And it was [so] , that when any man came night [to him]

to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and

kissed him. <any> <came> <do> <forth> <hand> <him> <kissed>

2SA-15:6 And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came

to the king for judgment:so Absalom stole the hearts of the men

of Israel. <all> <came> <did> <hearts> <israel> <judgment>

2SA-15:7 And it came to pass after forty years, that Absalom

said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which

I have vowed unto the LORD, in Hebron. <after> <came> <forty>

2SA-15:8 For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in

Syria, saying, If the LORD shall bring me again indeed to

Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD. <again> <bring> <geshur>

2SA-15:9 And the king said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose,

and went to Hebron. <arose> <go> <hebron> <him> <king> <peace>

2SA-15:10 But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of

Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet,

then ye shall say, Absalom reigneth in Hebron. <all> <hear>

2SA-15:11 And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem,

[that were] called; and they went in their simplicity, and they

knew not any thing. <any> <called> <hundred> <jerusalem> <knew>

2SA-15:12 And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's

counsellor, from his city, [even] from Giloh, while he offered

sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people

increased continually with Absalom. <ahithophel> <city>

2SA-15:13 And there came a messenger to David, saying, The

hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom. <after> <are>

<there>

2SA-15:14 And David said unto all his servants that [were] with

him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not

[else] escape from Absalom:make speed to depart, lest he

overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city

with the edge of the sword. <all> <arise> <bring> <city> <david>

2SA-15:15 And the king's servants said unto the king, Behold,

thy servants [are ready to do] whatsoever my lord the king shall

appoint. <appoint> <are> <behold> <do> <king> <lord> <ready>

2SA-15:16 And the king went forth, and all his household after

him. And the king left ten women, [which were] concubines, to

keep the house. <after> <all> <concubines> <forth> <him> <house>

2SA-15:17 And the king went forth, and all the people after him,

and tarried in a place that was far off. <after> <all> <far>

2SA-15:18 And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the

Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six

hundred men which came after him from Gath, passed on before the

king. <after> <all> <before> <beside> <came> <cherethites>

2SA-15:19 Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore

goest thou also with us? return to thy place, and abide with the

king:for thou [art] a stranger, and also an exile. <also> <art>

2SA-15:20 Whereas thou camest [but] yesterday, should I this day

make thee go up and down with us? seeing I go whither I may,

return thou, and take back thy brethren:mercy and truth [be]

with thee. <back> <brethren> <camest> <day> <down> <go> <make>

2SA-15:21 And Ittai answered the king, and said, [As] the LORD

liveth, and [as] my lord the king liveth, surely in what place

my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there

also will thy servant be. <also> <answered> <death> <even>

2SA-15:22 And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai

the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little

ones that [were] with him. <all> <david> <gittite> <go> <him>

<with>

2SA-15:23 And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all

the people passed over:the king also himself passed over the

brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of

the wilderness. <all> <also> <brook> <country> <himself>

2SA-15:24 And lo Zadok also, and all the Levites [were] with him,

bearing the ark of the covenant of God:and they set down the

ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had done

passing out of the city. <all> <also> <ark> <bearing> <city>

2SA-15:25 And the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of

God into the city:if I shall find favour in the eyes of the LORD,

he will bring me again, and show me [both] it, and his

habitation:<again> <ark> <back> <both> <bring> <carry> <city>

2SA-15:26 But if he thus say, I have no delight in thee; behold,

[here am] I, let him do to me as seemeth good unto him. <behold>

2SA-15:27 The king said also unto Zadok the priest, [Art not]

thou a seer? return into the city in peace, and your two sons

with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.

<zadok>

2SA-15:28 See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness,

until there come word from you to certify me. <certify> <come>

2SA-15:29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God

again to Jerusalem:and they tarried there. <again> <ark>

2SA-15:30 And David went up by the ascent of [mount] Olivet, and

wept as he went up, and had his head covered, and he went

barefoot:and all the people that [was] with him covered every

man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up. <all>

2SA-15:31 And [one] told David, saying, Ahithophel [is] among

the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O LORD, I pray

thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.

2SA-15:32 And it came to pass, that [when] David was come to the

top [of the mount] , where he worshipped God, behold, Hushai the

Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his

head:<archite> <behold> <came> <coat> <come> <david> <earth>

2SA-15:33 Unto whom David said, If thou passest on with me, then

thou shalt be a burden unto me:<burden> <david> <on> <passest>

2SA-15:34 But if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom,

I will be thy servant, O king; [as] I [have been] thy father's

servant hitherto, so [will] I now also [be] thy servant:then

mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel.

2SA-15:35 And [hast thou] not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar

the priests? therefore it shall be, [that] what thing soever

thou shalt hear out of the king's house, thou shalt tell [it] to

Zadok and Abiathar the priests. <hast> <hear> <house> <priests>

2SA-15:36 Behold, [they have] there with them their two sons,

Ahimaaz Zadok's [son] , and Jonathan Abiathar's [son] ; and by

them ye shall send unto me every thing that ye can hear.

2SA-15:37 So Hushai David's friend came into the city, and

Absalom came into Jerusalem. <came> <city> <friend> <hushai>

2SA-16:1 And when David was a little past the top [of the hill] ,

behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple

of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred [loaves] of bread,

and an hundred bunches of raisins, and an hundred of summer

fruits, and a bottle of wine. <asses> <behold> <bottle> <bread>

<ziba>

2SA-16:2 And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by

these? And Ziba said, The asses [be] for the king's household to

ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat;

and the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink.

2SA-16:3 And the king said, And where [is] thy master's son? And

Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem:for he

said, To day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of

my father. <behold> <day> <father> <house> <israel> <jerusalem>

2SA-16:4 Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine [are] all

that [pertained] unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly

beseech thee [that] I may find grace in thy sight, my lord, O

king. <all> <are> <behold> <beseech> <find> <grace> <humbly>

2SA-16:5 And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence

came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name

[was] Shimei, the son of Gera:he came forth, and cursed still as

he came. <bahurim> <behold> <came> <cursed> <david> <family>

2SA-16:6 And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of

king David:and all the people and all the mighty men [were] on

his right hand and on his left. <all> <cast> <david> <hand>

2SA-16:7 And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out,

thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial:<belial> <bloody>

2SA-16:8 The LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the

house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD

hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son:and,

behold, thou [art taken] in thy mischief, because thou [art] a

bloody man. <all> <art> <because> <behold> <blood> <bloody>

2SA-16:9 Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why

should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I

pray thee, and take off his head. <curse> <dead> <dog> <go>

2SA-16:10 And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons

of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the LORD hath said unto

him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done

so? <because> <curse> <david> <do> <done> <hast> <hath> <have>

2SA-16:11 And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants,

Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life:

how much more now [may this] Benjamite [do it] ? let him alone,

and let him curse; for the LORD hath bidden him. <all> <alone>

2SA-16:12 It may be that the LORD will look on mine affliction,

and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day.

2SA-16:13 And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went

along on the hill's side over against him, and cursed as he went,

and threw stones at him, and cast dust. <against> <along>

2SA-16:14 And the king, and all the people that [were] with him,

came weary, and refreshed themselves there. <all> <came> <him>

2SA-16:15 And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel,

came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him. <ahithophel> <all>

2SA-16:16 And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's

friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom,

God save the king, God save the king. <archite> <came> <come>

2SA-16:17 And Absalom said to Hushai, [Is] this thy kindness to

thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend? <friend>

2SA-16:18 And Hushai said unto Absalom, Nay; but whom the LORD,

and this people, and all the men of Israel, choose, his will I

be, and with him will I abide. <all> <choose> <him> <hushai>

<with>

2SA-16:19 And again, whom should I serve? [should I] not [serve]

in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's

presence, so will I be in thy presence. <again> <have>

2SA-16:20 Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among

you what we shall do. <ahithophel> <among> <counsel> <do> <give>

2SA-16:21 And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto thy

father's concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and

all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred of thy father:then

shall the hands of all that [are] with thee be strong.

2SA-16:22 So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the

house; and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in the

sight of all Israel. <all> <concubines> <house> <israel> <sight>

2SA-16:23 And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in

those days, [was] as if a man had inquired at the oracle of God:

so [was] all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with

Absalom. <ahithophel> <all> <both> <counsel> <counselled>

2SA-17:1 Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now

choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue

after David this night:<after> <ahithophel> <arise> <choose>

2SA-17:2 And I will come upon him while he [is] weary and weak

handed, and will make him afraid:and all the people that [are]

with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only:<afraid>

2SA-17:3 And I will bring back all the people unto thee:the man

whom thou seekest [is] as if all returned:[so] all the people

shall be in peace. <all> <back> <bring> <man> <peace> <people>

2SA-17:4 And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders

of Israel. <all> <elders> <israel> <pleased> <saying> <well>

2SA-17:5 Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also,

and let us hear likewise what he saith. <also> <archite> <call>

<what>

2SA-17:6 And when Hushai was come to Absalom, Absalom spake unto

him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner:shall we

do [after] his saying? if not; speak thou. <after> <ahithophel>

2SA-17:7 And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that

Ahithophel hath given [is] not good at this time. <ahithophel>

2SA-17:8 For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father and his men,

that they [be] mighty men, and they [be] chafed in their minds,

as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field:and thy father [is]

a man of war, and will not lodge with the people. <bear>

<with>

2SA-17:9 Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some [other]

place:and it will come to pass, when some of them be overthrown

at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a

slaughter among the people that follow Absalom. <among> <behold>

2SA-17:10 And he also [that is] valiant, whose heart [is] as the

heart of a lion, shall utterly melt:for all Israel knoweth that

thy father [is] a mighty man, and [they] which [be] with him

[are] valiant men. <all> <also> <are> <father> <heart> <him>

2SA-17:11 Therefore I counsel that all Israel be generally

gathered unto thee, from Dan even to Beersheba, as the sand that

[is] by the sea for multitude; and that thou go to battle in

thine own person. <all> <battle> <beersheba> <counsel> <dan>

2SA-17:12 So shall we come upon him in some place where he shall

be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falleth on the

ground:and of him and of all the men that [are] with him there

shall not be left so much as one. <all> <are> <come> <dew>

2SA-17:13 Moreover, if he be gotten into a city, then shall all

Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the

river, until there be not one small stone found there. <all>

2SA-17:14 And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The

counsel of Hushai the Archite [is] better than the counsel of

Ahithophel. For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good

counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring

evil upon Absalom. <ahithophel> <all> <appointed> <archite>

2SA-17:15 Then said Hushai unto Zadok and to Abiathar the

priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the

elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled.

2SA-17:16 Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying,

Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but

speedily pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the

people that [are] with him. <all> <are> <david> <him> <king>

2SA-17:17 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by Enrogel; for they

might not be seen to come into the city:and a wench went and

told them; and they went and told king David. <ahimaaz> <city>

2SA-17:18 Nevertheless a lad saw them, and told Absalom:but they

went both of them away quickly, and came to a man's house in

Bahurim, which had a well in his court; whither they went down.

2SA-17:19 And the woman took and spread a covering over the

well's mouth, and spread ground corn thereon; and the thing was

not known. <corn> <covering> <ground> <known> <mouth> <over>

2SA-17:20 And when Absalom's servants came to the woman to the

house, they said, Where [is] Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman

said unto them, They be gone over the brook of water. And when

they had sought and could not find [them] , they returned to

Jerusalem. <ahimaaz> <brook> <came> <could> <find> <gone> <had>

2SA-17:21 And it came to pass, after they were departed, that

they came up out of the well, and went and told king David, and

said unto David, Arise, and pass quickly over the water:for thus

hath Ahithophel counselled against you. <after> <against>

2SA-17:22 Then David arose, and all the people that [were] with

him, and they passed over Jordan:by the morning light there

lacked not one of them that was not gone over Jordan. <all>

2SA-17:23 And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not

followed, he saddled [his] ass, and arose, and gat him home to

his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and

hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his

father. <ahithophel> <arose> <ass> <buried> <city> <counsel>

<when>

2SA-17:24 Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over

Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him. <all> <came>

2SA-17:25 And Absalom made Amasa captain of the host instead of

Joab:which Amasa [was] a man's son, whose name [was] Ithra an

Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash,

sister to Zeruiah Joab's mother. <amasa> <captain> <daughter>

2SA-17:26 So Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead.

2SA-17:27 And it came to pass, when David was come to Mahanaim,

that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon,

and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lodebar, and Barzillai the

Gileadite of Rogelim, <ammiel> <ammon> <barzillai> <came>

<when>

2SA-17:28 Brought beds, and basins, and earthen vessels, and

wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched [corn] , and beans,

and lentiles, and parched [pulse] , <barley> <basins> <beans>

2SA-17:29 And honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of kine,

for David, and for the people that [were] with him, to eat:for

they said, The people [is] hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in

the wilderness. <butter> <cheese> <david> <eat> <him> <honey>

2SA-18:1 And David numbered the people that [were] with him, and

set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them.

2SA-18:2 And David sent forth a third part of the people under

the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the

son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third part under the hand

of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I will

surely go forth with you myself also. <also> <brother> <david>

2SA-18:3 But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth:for if

we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us

die, will they care for us:but now [thou art] worth ten thousand

of us:therefore now [it is] better that thou succour us out of

the city. <answered> <art> <away> <better> <care> <city> <die>

2SA-18:4 And the king said unto them, What seemeth you best I

will do. And the king stood by the gate side, and all the people

came out by hundreds and by thousands. <all> <best> <came> <do>

2SA-18:5 And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai,

saying, [Deal] gently for my sake with the young man, [even]

with Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all

the captains charge concerning Absalom. <all> <captains>

2SA-18:6 So the people went out into the field against Israel:

and the battle was in the wood of Ephraim; <against> <battle>

2SA-18:7 Where the people of Israel were slain before the

servants of David, and there was there a great slaughter that

day of twenty thousand [men] . <before> <david> <day> <great>

2SA-18:8 For the battle was there scattered over the face of all

the country:and the wood devoured more people that day than the

sword devoured. <all> <battle> <country> <day> <devoured> <face>

2SA-18:9 And Absalom met the servants of David. And Absalom rode

upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great

oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up

between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that [was] under

him went away. <away> <between> <boughs> <caught> <david>

2SA-18:10 And a certain man saw [it] , and told Joab, and said,

Behold, I saw Absalom hanged in an oak. <behold> <certain>

2SA-18:11 And Joab said unto the man that told him, And, behold,

thou sawest [him] , and why didst thou not smite him there to

the ground? And I would have given thee ten [shekels] of silver,

and a girdle. <behold> <didst> <girdle> <given> <ground> <have>

2SA-18:12 And the man said unto Joab, Though I should receive a

thousand [shekels] of silver in mine hand, [yet] would I not put

forth mine hand against the king's son:for in our hearing the

king charged thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that

none [touch] the young man Absalom. <against> <beware> <charged>

2SA-18:13 Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood against mine

own life:for there is no matter hid from the king, and thou

thyself wouldest have set thyself against [me] . <against>

2SA-18:14 Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he

took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart

of Absalom, while he [was] yet alive in the midst of the oak.

2SA-18:15 And ten young men that bare Joab's armour compassed

about and smote Absalom, and slew him. <armour> <bare>

2SA-18:16 And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned

from pursuing after Israel:for Joab held back the people.

2SA-18:17 And they took Absalom, and cast him into a great pit

in the wood, and laid a very great heap of stones upon him:and

all Israel fled every one to his tent. <all> <cast> <every>

2SA-18:18 Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up

for himself a pillar, which [is] in the king's dale:for he said,

I have no son to keep my name in remembrance:and he called the

pillar after his own name:and it is called unto this day,

Absalom's place. <after> <called> <dale> <day> <had> <have>

<which>

2SA-18:19 Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run,

and bear the king tidings, how that the LORD hath avenged him of

his enemies. <ahimaaz> <avenged> <bear> <enemies> <hath> <him>

2SA-18:20 And Joab said unto him, Thou shalt not bear tidings

this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another day:but this day

thou shalt bear no tidings, because the king's son is dead.

2SA-18:21 Then said Joab to Cushi, Go tell the king what thou

hast seen. And Cushi bowed himself unto Joab, and ran. <bowed>

2SA-18:22 Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab,

But howsoever, let me, I pray thee, also run after Cushi. And

Joab said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou

hast no tidings ready? <after> <again> <ahimaaz> <also> <cushi>

2SA-18:23 But howsoever, [said he] , let me run. And he said

unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and

overran Cushi. <ahimaaz> <cushi> <him> <howsoever> <let>

2SA-18:24 And David sat between the two gates:and the watchman

went up to the roof over the gate unto the wall, and lifted up

his eyes, and looked, and behold a man running alone. <alone>

2SA-18:25 And the watchman cried, and told the king. And the

king said, If he [be] alone, [there is] tidings in his mouth.

And he came apace, and drew near. <alone> <apace> <came> <cried>

2SA-18:26 And the watchman saw another man running:and the

watchman called unto the porter, and said, Behold [another] man

running alone. And the king said, He also bringeth tidings.

2SA-18:27 And the watchman said, Me thinketh the running of the

foremost is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And

the king said, He [is] a good man, and cometh with good tidings.

<zadok>

2SA-18:28 And Ahimaaz called, and said unto the king, All is

well. And he fell down to the earth upon his face before the

king, and said, Blessed [be] the LORD thy God, which hath

delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord

the king. <against> <ahimaaz> <all> <before> <blessed> <called>

2SA-18:29 And the king said, Is the young man Absalom safe? And

Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king's servant, and [me]

thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew not what [it was] .

2SA-18:30 And the king said [unto him] , Turn aside, [and] stand

here. And he turned aside, and stood still. <aside> <here> <him>

2SA-18:31 And, behold, Cushi came; and Cushi said, Tidings, my

lord the king:for the LORD hath avenged thee this day of all

them that rose up against thee. <against> <all> <avenged>

2SA-18:32 And the king said unto Cushi, Is the young man Absalom

safe? And Cushi answered, The enemies of my lord the king, and

all that rise against thee to do [thee] hurt, be as [that] young

man [is] . <against> <all> <answered> <cushi> <do> <enemies>

2SA-18:33 And the king was much moved, and went up to the

chamber over the gate, and wept:and as he went, thus he said, O

my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would God I had died for

thee, O Absalom, my son, my son! <chamber> <died> <gate> <god>

2SA-19:1 And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weepeth and

mourneth for Absalom. <behold> <joab> <king> <mourneth> <told>

2SA-19:2 And the victory that day was [turned] into mourning

unto all the people:for the people heard say that day how the

king was grieved for his son. <all> <day> <grieved> <heard>

2SA-19:3 And the people gat them by stealth that day into the

city, as people being ashamed steal away when they flee in

battle. <ashamed> <away> <battle> <being> <city> <day> <flee>

2SA-19:4 But the king covered his face, and the king cried with

a loud voice, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!

2SA-19:5 And Joab came into the house to the king, and said,

Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, which

this day have saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons and of

thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy

concubines; <all> <came> <concubines> <daughters> <day> <faces>

2SA-19:6 In that thou lovest thine enemies, and hatest thy

friends. For thou hast declared this day, that thou regardest

neither princes nor servants:for this day I perceive, that if

Absalom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it had

pleased thee well. <all> <day> <declared> <died> <enemies>

2SA-19:7 Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak comfortably

unto thy servants:for I swear by the LORD, if thou go not forth,

there will not tarry one with thee this night:and that will be

worse unto thee than all the evil that befell thee from thy

youth until now. <all> <arise> <befell> <comfortably> <evil>

2SA-19:8 Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. And they told

unto all the people, saying, Behold, the king doth sit in the

gate. And all the people came before the king:for Israel had

fled every man to his tent. <all> <arose> <before> <behold>

2SA-19:9 And all the people were at strife throughout all the

tribes of Israel, saying, The king saved us out of the hand of

our enemies, and he delivered us out of the hand of the

Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land for Absalom.

2SA-19:10 And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in

battle. Now therefore why speak ye not a word of bringing the

king back? <anointed> <back> <battle> <bringing> <dead> <king>

2SA-19:11 And king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the

priests, saying, Speak unto the elders of Judah, saying, Why are

ye the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the

speech of all Israel is come to the king, [even] to his house.

2SA-19:12 Ye [are] my brethren, ye [are] my bones and my flesh:

wherefore then are ye the last to bring back the king? <are>

2SA-19:13 And say ye to Amasa, [Art] thou not of my bone, and of

my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain

of the host before me continually in the room of Joab. <also>

2SA-19:14 And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even

as [the heart of] one man; so that they sent [this word] unto

the king, Return thou, and all thy servants. <all> <bowed>

2SA-19:15 So the king returned, and came to Jordan. And Judah

came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to conduct the king over

Jordan. <came> <conduct> <gilgal> <go> <jordan> <judah> <king>

2SA-19:16 And Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite, which [was]

of Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Judah to meet

king David. <bahurim> <benjamite> <came> <david> <down> <gera>

<with>

2SA-19:17 And [there were] a thousand men of Benjamin with him,

and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons

and his twenty servants with him; and they went over Jordan

before the king. <before> <benjamin> <fifteen> <him> <house>

2SA-19:18 And there went over a ferry boat to carry over the

king's household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the

son of Gera fell down before the king, as he was come over

Jordan; <before> <boat> <carry> <come> <do> <down> <fell>

2SA-19:19 And said unto the king, Let not my lord impute

iniquity unto me, neither do thou remember that which thy

servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of

Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart. <day>

2SA-19:20 For thy servant doth know that I have sinned:therefore,

behold, I am come the first this day of all the house of Joseph

to go down to meet my lord the king. <all> <behold> <come> <day>

2SA-19:21 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said,

Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the

LORD'S anointed? <anointed> <answered> <because> <cursed>

2SA-19:22 And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of

Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries unto me? shall

there any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I

know that I [am] this day king over Israel? <adversaries> <any>

2SA-19:23 Therefore the king said unto Shimei, Thou shalt not

die. And the king sware unto him. <die> <him> <king> <said>

2SA-19:24 And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the

king, and had neither dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard,

nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the

day he came [again] in peace. <again> <beard> <came> <clothes>

2SA-19:25 And it came to pass, when he was come to Jerusalem to

meet the king, that the king said unto him, Wherefore wentest

not thou with me, Mephibosheth? <came> <come> <him> <jerusalem>

2SA-19:26 And he answered, My lord, O king, my servant deceived

me:for thy servant said, I will saddle me an ass, that I may

ride thereon, and go to the king; because thy servant [is] lame.

2SA-19:27 And he hath slandered thy servant unto my lord the

king; but my lord the king [is] as an angel of God:do therefore

[what is] good in thine eyes. <angel> <do> <eyes> <god> <good>

<what>

2SA-19:28 For all [of] my father's house were but dead men

before my lord the king:yet didst thou set thy servant among

them that did eat at thine own table. What right therefore have

I yet to cry any more unto the king? <all> <among> <any>

2SA-19:29 And the king said unto him, Why speakest thou any more

of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land.

2SA-19:30 And Mephibosheth said unto the king, Yea, let him take

all, forasmuch as my lord the king is come again in peace unto

his own house. <again> <all> <come> <forasmuch> <him> <house>

<yea>

2SA-19:31 And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim,

and went over Jordan with the king, to conduct him over Jordan.

2SA-19:32 Now Barzillai was a very aged man, [even] fourscore

years old:and he had provided the king of sustenance while he

lay at Mahanaim; for he [was] a very great man. <aged>

2SA-19:33 And the king said unto Barzillai, Come thou over with

me, and I will feed thee with me in Jerusalem. <barzillai>

2SA-19:34 And Barzillai said unto the king, How long have I to

live, that I should go up with the king unto Jerusalem?

2SA-19:35 I [am] this day fourscore years old:[and] can I

discern between good and evil? can thy servant taste what I eat

or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men

and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant be yet a

burden unto my lord the king? <any> <between> <burden> <can>

2SA-19:36 Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the

king:and why should the king recompense it me with such a

reward? <go> <jordan> <king> <little> <over> <recompense>

2SA-19:37 Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I

may die in mine own city, [and be buried] by the grave of my

father and of my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham; let him

go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem

good unto thee. <again> <back> <behold> <buried> <chimham>

2SA-19:38 And the king answered, Chimham shall go over with me,

and I will do to him that which shall seem good unto thee:and

whatsoever thou shalt require of me, [that] will I do for thee.

2SA-19:39 And all the people went over Jordan. And when the king

was come over, the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and

he returned unto his own place. <all> <barzillai> <blessed>

2SA-19:40 Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on

with him:and all the people of Judah conducted the king, and

also half the people of Israel. <all> <also> <chimham>

2SA-19:41 And, behold, all the men of Israel came to the king,

and said unto the king, Why have our brethren the men of Judah

stolen thee away, and have brought the king, and his household,

and all David's men with him, over Jordan? <all> <away> <behold>

2SA-19:42 And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel,

Because the king [is] near of kin to us:wherefore then be ye

angry for this matter? have we eaten at all of the king's [cost]

? or hath he given us any gift? <all> <angry> <answered> <any>

2SA-19:43 And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and

said, We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more

[right] in David than ye:why then did ye despise us, that our

advice should not be first had in bringing back our king? And

the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the

men of Israel. <advice> <also> <answered> <back> <bringing>

2SA-20:1 And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose

name [was] Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite:and he blew a

trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we

inheritance in the son of Jesse:every man to his tents, O Israel.

<whose>

2SA-20:2 So every man of Israel went up from after David, [and]

followed Sheba the son of Bichri:but the men of Judah clave unto

their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem. <after> <bichri>

2SA-20:3 And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king

took the ten women [his] concubines, whom he had left to keep

the house, and put them in ward, and fed them, but went not in

unto them. So they were shut up unto the day of their death,

living in widowhood. <came> <concubines> <david> <day> <death>

<women>

2SA-20:4 Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of

Judah within three days, and be thou here present. <amasa>

2SA-20:5 So Amasa went to assemble [the men of] Judah:but he

tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.

2SA-20:6 And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of

Bichri do us more harm than [did] Absalom:take thou thy lord's

servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fenced cities,

and escape us. <after> <bichri> <cities> <david> <did> <do>

2SA-20:7 And there went out after him Joab's men, and the

Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men:and they

went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.

2SA-20:8 When they [were] at the great stone which [is] in

Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab's garment that he had

put on was girded unto him, and upon it a girdle [with] a sword

fastened upon his loins in the sheath thereof; and as he went

forth it fell out. <amasa> <before> <fastened> <fell> <forth>

2SA-20:9 And Joab said to Amasa, [Art] thou in health, my

brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to

kiss him. <amasa> <art> <beard> <brother> <hand> <health> <him>

2SA-20:10 But Amasa took no heed to the sword that [was] in

Joab's hand:so he smote him therewith in the fifth [rib] , and

shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and

he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the

son of Bichri. <after> <again> <amasa> <bichri> <bowels>

2SA-20:11 And one of Joab's men stood by him, and said, He that

favoureth Joab, and he that [is] for David, [let him go] after

Joab. <after> <david> <favoureth> <go> <him> <joab> <let> <men>

2SA-20:12 And Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the

highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still,

he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a

cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by him

stood still. <all> <amasa> <blood> <came> <cast> <cloth> <every>

2SA-20:13 When he was removed out of the highway, all the people

went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.

2SA-20:14 And he went through all the tribes of Israel unto Abel,

and to Bethmaachah, and all the Berites:and they were gathered

together, and went also after him. <after> <all> <also>

2SA-20:15 And they came and besieged him in Abel of Bethmaachah,

and they cast up a bank against the city, and it stood in the

trench:and all the people that [were] with Joab battered the

wall, to throw it down. <against> <all> <bank> <battered>

2SA-20:16 Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear;

say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near hither, that I may speak

with thee. <city> <come> <cried> <hear> <hither> <joab> <may>

2SA-20:17 And when he was come near unto her, the woman said,

[Art] thou Joab? And he answered, I [am he] . Then she said unto

him, Hear the words of thine handmaid. And he answered, I do

hear. <answered> <art> <come> <do> <handmaid> <hear> <him>

2SA-20:18 Then she spake, saying, They were wont to speak in old

time, saying, They shall surely ask [counsel] at Abel:and so

they ended [the matter] . <ask> <counsel> <ended> <matter> <old>

2SA-20:19 I [am one of them that are] peaceable [and] faithful

in Israel:thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel:

why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the LORD? <are>

2SA-20:20 And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from

me, that I should swallow up or destroy. <answered> <destroy>

2SA-20:21 The matter [is] not so:but a man of mount Ephraim,

Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against

the king, [even] against David:deliver him only, and I will

depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Behold, his

head shall be thrown to thee over the wall. <against> <behold>

2SA-20:22 Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom.

And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast

[it] out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from

the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem

unto the king. <all> <bichri> <blew> <cast> <city> <cut> <every>

<woman>

2SA-20:23 Now Joab [was] over all the host of Israel:and Benaiah

the son of Jehoiada [was] over the Cherethites and over the

Pelethites:<all> <benaiah> <cherethites> <host> <israel>

2SA-20:24 And Adoram [was] over the tribute:and Jehoshaphat the

son of Ahilud [was] recorder:<ahilud> <jehoshaphat> <over>

2SA-20:25 And Sheva [was] scribe:and Zadok and Abiathar [were]

the priests:<priests> <scribe> <sheva> <zadok>

2SA-20:26 And Ira also the Jairite was a chief ruler about David.

2SA-21:1 Then there was a famine in the days of David three

years, year after year; and David inquired of the LORD. And the

LORD answered, [It is] for Saul, and for [his] bloody house,

because he slew the Gibeonites. <after> <answered> <because>

2SA-21:2 And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them;

( now the Gibeonites [were] not of the children of Israel, but

of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had

sworn unto them:and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal to the

children of Israel and Judah. ) <amorites> <called> <children>

2SA-21:3 Wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites, What shall I

do for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye

may bless the inheritance of the LORD? <atonement> <bless>

2SA-21:4 And the Gibeonites said unto him, We will have no

silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house; neither for us shalt

thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say,

[that] will I do for you. <any> <do> <gibeonites> <gold> <have>

2SA-21:5 And they answered the king, The man that consumed us,

and that devised against us [that] we should be destroyed from

remaining in any of the coasts of Israel, <against> <answered>

2SA-21:6 Let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we

will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, [whom] the

LORD did choose. And the king said, I will give [them] .

2SA-21:7 But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan

the son of Saul, because of the LORD'S oath that [was] between

them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul. <because>

2SA-21:8 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter

of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and

the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought

up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:<aiah>

2SA-21:9 And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites,

and they hanged them in the hill before the LORD:and they fell

[all] seven together, and were put to death in the days of

harvest, in the first [days] , in the beginning of barley

harvest. <all> <barley> <before> <beginning> <days> <death>

2SA-21:10 And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and

spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest

until water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered

neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the

beasts of the field by night. <aiah> <air> <beasts> <beginning>

2SA-21:11 And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah,

the concubine of Saul, had done. <aiah> <concubine> <daughter>

2SA-21:12 And David went and took the bones of Saul and the

bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabeshgilead, which

had stolen them from the street of Bethshan, where the

Philistines had hanged them, when the Philistines had slain Saul

in Gilboa:<bethshan> <bones> <david> <gilboa> <had> <hanged>

2SA-21:13 And he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and

the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of

them that were hanged. <bones> <brought> <gathered> <hanged>

2SA-21:14 And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son buried they

in the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the sepulchre of Kish

his father:and they performed all that the king commanded. And

after that God was entreated for the land. <after> <all>

2SA-21:15 Moreover the Philistines had yet war again with Israel;

and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought

against the Philistines:and David waxed faint. <again> <against>

2SA-21:16 And Ishbibenob, which [was] of the sons of the giant,

the weight of whose spear [weighed] three hundred [shekels] of

brass in weight, he being girded with a new [sword] , thought to

have slain David. <being> <brass> <david> <giant> <girded>

2SA-21:17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and

smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David

sware unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to

battle, that thou quench not the light of Israel. <battle>

2SA-21:18 And it came to pass after this, that there was again a

battle with the Philistines at Gob:then Sibbechai the Hushathite

slew Saph, which [was] of the sons of the giant. <after> <again>

<with>

2SA-21:19 And there was again a battle in Gob with the

Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a

Bethlehemite, slew [the brother of] Goliath the Gittite, the

staff of whose spear [was] like a weaver's beam. <again>

2SA-21:20 And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of

[great] stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on

every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was

born to the giant. <also> <battle> <born> <every> <fingers>

2SA-21:21 And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah

the brother of David slew him. <brother> <david> <defied> <him>

2SA-21:22 These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by

the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants. <born>

2SA-22:1 And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in

the day [that] the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all

his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:<all> <david> <day>

2SA-22:2 And he said, The LORD [is] my rock, and my fortress,

and my deliverer; <deliverer> <fortress> <lord> <rock> <said>

2SA-22:3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust:[he is] my

shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my

refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence. <god> <high>

2SA-22:4 I will call on the LORD, [who is] worthy to be praised:

so shall I be saved from mine enemies. <call> <enemies> <lord>

2SA-22:5 When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of

ungodly men made me afraid; <afraid> <compassed> <death>

2SA-22:6 The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of

death prevented me; <compassed> <death> <hell> <prevented>

2SA-22:7 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my

God:and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry [did

enter] into his ears. <called> <cried> <cry> <did> <distress>

2SA-22:8 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of

heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth. <because> <earth>

2SA-22:9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out

of his mouth devoured:coals were kindled by it. <coals>

<went>

2SA-22:10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness

[was] under his feet. <also> <bowed> <came> <darkness> <down>

2SA-22:11 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly:and he was seen

upon the wings of the wind. <cherub> <did> <fly> <rode> <seen>

2SA-22:12 And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark

waters, [and] thick clouds of the skies. <clouds> <dark>

2SA-22:13 Through the brightness before him were coals of fire

kindled. <before> <brightness> <coals> <fire> <him> <kindled>

2SA-22:14 The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High

uttered his voice. <heaven> <high> <lord> <most> <thundered>

2SA-22:15 And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning,

and discomfited them. <arrows> <discomfited> <lightning>

2SA-22:16 And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations

of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at

the blast of the breath of his nostrils. <appeared> <blast>

2SA-22:17 He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many

waters; <drew> <many> <sent> <took> <waters>

2SA-22:18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, [and] from them

that hated me:for they were too strong for me. <delivered>

2SA-22:19 They prevented me in the day of my calamity:but the

LORD was my stay. <calamity> <day> <lord> <prevented> <stay>

2SA-22:20 He brought me forth also into a large place:he

delivered me, because he delighted in me. <also> <because>

2SA-22:21 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness:

according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

2SA-22:22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not

wickedly departed from my God. <departed> <god> <have> <kept>

2SA-22:23 For all his judgments [were] before me:and [as for]

his statutes, I did not depart from them. <all> <before>

2SA-22:24 I was also upright before him, and have kept myself

from mine iniquity. <also> <before> <have> <him> <iniquity>

2SA-22:25 Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my

righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.

2SA-22:26 With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful,

[and] with the upright man thou wilt show thyself upright. <man>

2SA-22:27 With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with

the froward thou wilt show thyself unsavoury. <froward> <pure>

2SA-22:28 And the afflicted people thou wilt save:but thine eyes

[are] upon the haughty, [that] thou mayest bring [them] down.

2SA-22:29 For thou [art] my lamp, O LORD:and the LORD will

lighten my darkness. <art> <darkness> <lamp> <lighten> <lord>

<will>

2SA-22:30 For by thee I have run through a troop:by my God have

I leaped over a wall. <god> <have> <leaped> <over> <run>

2SA-22:31 [As for] God, his way [is] perfect; the word of the

LORD [is] tried:he [is] a buckler to all them that trust in him.

2SA-22:32 For who [is] God, save the LORD? and who [is] a rock,

save our God? <god> <lord> <rock> <save> <who>

2SA-22:33 God [is] my strength [and] power:And he maketh my way

perfect. <god> <maketh> <perfect> <power> <strength> <way>

2SA-22:34 He maketh my feet like hinds' [feet] :and setteth me

upon my high places. <feet> <high> <like> <maketh> <places>

2SA-22:35 He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is

broken by mine arms. <arms> <bow> <broken> <hands> <mine> <so>

2SA-22:36 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation:

and thy gentleness hath made me great. <also> <gentleness>

2SA-22:37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet

did not slip. <did> <enlarged> <feet> <hast> <slip> <so> <steps>

<under>

2SA-22:38 I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and

turned not again until I had consumed them. <again> <consumed>

<until>

2SA-22:39 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they

could not arise:yea, they are fallen under my feet. <are>

2SA-22:40 For thou hast girded me with strength to battle:them

that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me. <against>

<with>

2SA-22:41 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies,

that I might destroy them that hate me. <also> <destroy>

2SA-22:42 They looked, but [there was] none to save; [even] unto

the LORD, but he answered them not. <answered> <even> <looked>

2SA-22:43 Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth,

I did stamp them as the mire of the street, [and] did spread

them abroad. <beat> <did> <dust> <earth> <mire> <small> <spread>

2SA-22:44 Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my

people, thou hast kept me [to be] head of the heathen:a people

[which] I knew not shall serve me. <also> <delivered> <hast>

<which>

2SA-22:45 Strangers shall submit themselves unto me:as soon as

they hear, they shall be obedient unto me. <hear> <obedient>

2SA-22:46 Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid

out of their close places. <afraid> <away> <close> <fade>

2SA-22:47 The LORD liveth; and blessed [be] my rock; and exalted

be the God of the rock of my salvation. <blessed> <exalted>

2SA-22:48 It [is] God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down

the people under me, <avengeth> <bringeth> <down> <god> <people>

<under>

2SA-22:49 And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies:thou also

hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me:

thou hast delivered me from the violent man. <against> <also>

2SA-22:50 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among

the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name. <among>

2SA-22:51 [He is] the tower of salvation for his king:and

showeth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for

evermore. <anointed> <david> <evermore> <king> <mercy>

2SA-23:1 Now these [be] the last words of David. David the son

of Jesse said, and the man [who was] raised up on high, the

anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel,

said, <anointed> <david> <god> <high> <israel> <jacob> <jesse>

2SA-23:2 The spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word [was]

in my tongue. <lord> <spake> <spirit> <tongue> <word>

2SA-23:3 The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me,

He that ruleth over men [must be] just, ruling in the fear of

God. <fear> <god> <israel> <just> <men> <must> <over> <rock>

2SA-23:4 And [he shall be] as the light of the morning, [when]

the sun riseth, [even] a morning without clouds; [as] the tender

grass [springing] out of the earth by clear shining after rain.

2SA-23:5 Although my house [be] not so with God; yet he hath

made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all [things] ,

and sure:for [this is] all my salvation, and all [my] desire,

although he make [it] not to grow. <all> <although> <covenant>

2SA-23:6 But [the sons] of Belial [shall be] all of them as

thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:

2SA-23:7 But the man [that] shall touch them must be fenced with

iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned

with fire in the [same] place. <burned> <fenced> <fire> <iron>

<with>

2SA-23:8 These [be] the names of the mighty men whom David had:

The Tachmonite that sat in the seat, chief among the captains;

the same [was] Adino the Eznite:[he lift up his spear] against

eight hundred, whom he slew at one time. <against> <among>

2SA-23:9 And after him [was] Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite,

[one] of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the

Philistines [that] were there gathered together to battle, and

the men of Israel were gone away:<after> <ahohite> <away>

2SA-23:10 He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was

weary, and his hand clave unto the sword:and the LORD wrought a

great victory that day; and the people returned after him only

to spoil. <after> <arose> <clave> <day> <great> <hand> <him>

2SA-23:11 And after him [was] Shammah the son of Agee the

Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a

troop, where was a piece of ground full of lentiles:and the

people fled from the Philistines. <after> <agee> <fled> <full>

2SA-23:12 But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended

it, and slew the Philistines:and the LORD wrought a great

victory. <defended> <great> <ground> <lord> <midst>

2SA-23:13 And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to

David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam:and the troop

of the Philistines pitched in the valley of Rephaim. <adullam>

<went>

2SA-23:14 And David [was] then in an hold, and the garrison of

the Philistines [was] then [in] Bethlehem. <bethlehem> <david>

2SA-23:15 And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me

drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which [is] by the

gate! <bethlehem> <david> <drink> <gate> <give> <longed> <oh>

2SA-23:16 And the three mighty men brake through the host of the

Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that

[was] by the gate, and took [it] , and brought [it] to David:

nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto

the LORD. <bethlehem> <brake> <brought> <david> <drew> <drink>

<would>

2SA-23:17 And he said, Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should

do this:[is not this] the blood of the men that went in jeopardy

of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things

did these three mighty men. <blood> <did> <do> <drink> <far>

2SA-23:18 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah,

was chief among three. And he lifted up his spear against three

hundred, [and] slew [them] , and had the name among three.

2SA-23:19 Was he not most honourable of three? therefore he was

their captain:howbeit he attained not unto the [first] three.

2SA-23:20 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant

man, of Kabzeel, who had done many acts, he slew two lionlike

men of Moab:he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a

pit in time of snow:<also> <benaiah> <done> <down> <had>

2SA-23:21 And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man:and the Egyptian

had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff,

and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him

with his own spear. <down> <egyptian> <goodly> <had> <hand>

2SA-23:22 These [things] did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and

had the name among three mighty men. <among> <benaiah> <did>

<three>

2SA-23:23 He was more honourable than the thirty, but he

attained not to the [first] three. And David set him over his

guard. <attained> <david> <first> <guard> <him> <honourable>

2SA-23:24 Asahel the brother of Joab [was] one of the thirty;

Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem, <asahel> <bethlehem>

2SA-23:25 Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite, <elika>

2SA-23:26 Helez the Paltite, Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite,

2SA-23:27 Abiezer the Anethothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite,

2SA-23:28 Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite,

2SA-23:29 Heleb the son of Baanah, a Netophathite, Ittai the son

of Ribai out of Gibeah of the children of Benjamin, <baanah>

2SA-23:30 Benaiah the Pirathonite, Hiddai of the brooks of Gaash,

2SA-23:31 Abialbon the Arbathite, Azmaveth the Barhumite,

2SA-23:32 Eliahba the Shaalbonite, of the sons of Jashen,

Jonathan, <eliahba> <jashen> <jonathan> <shaalbonite> <sons>

2SA-23:33 Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam the son of Sharar the

Hararite, <ahiam> <hararite> <shammah> <sharar> <son>

2SA-23:34 Eliphelet the son of Ahasbai, the son of the

Maachathite, Eliam the son of Ahithophel the Gilonite, <ahasbai>

2SA-23:35 Hezrai the Carmelite, Paarai the Arbite, <arbite>

2SA-23:36 Igal the son of Nathan of Zobah, Bani the Gadite,

2SA-23:37 Zelek the Ammonite, Nahari the Beerothite,

armourbearer to Joab the son of Zeruiah, <ammonite>

2SA-23:38 Ira an Ithrite, Gareb an Ithrite, <gareb> <ira>

2SA-23:39 Uriah the Hittite:thirty and seven in all. <all>

2SA-24:1 And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against

Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number

Israel and Judah. <again> <against> <anger> <david> <go>

2SA-24:2 For the king said to Joab the captain of the host,

which [was] with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel,

from Dan even to Beersheba, and number ye the people, that I may

know the number of the people. <all> <beersheba> <captain> <dan>

2SA-24:3 And Joab said unto the king, Now the LORD thy God add

unto the people, how many soever they be, an hundredfold, and

that the eyes of my lord the king may see [it] :but why doth my

lord the king delight in this thing? <delight> <doth> <eyes>

2SA-24:4 Notwithstanding the king's word prevailed against Joab,

and against the captains of the host. And Joab and the captains

of the host went out from the presence of the king, to number

the people of Israel. <against> <captains> <host> <israel>

2SA-24:5 And they passed over Jordan, and pitched in Aroer, on

the right side of the city that [lieth] in the midst of the

river of Gad, and toward Jazer:<aroer> <city> <gad> <jazer>

2SA-24:6 Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of

Tahtimhodshi; and they came to Danjaan, and about to Zidon,

2SA-24:7 And came to the strong hold of Tyre, and to all the

cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites:and they went out

to the south of Judah, [even] to Beersheba. <all> <beersheba>

2SA-24:8 So when they had gone through all the land, they came

to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days. <all>

2SA-24:9 And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people

unto the king:and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand

valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah [were]

five hundred thousand men. <drew> <eight> <five> <gave>

2SA-24:10 And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered

the people. And David said unto the LORD, I have sinned greatly

in that I have done:and now, I beseech thee, O LORD, take away

the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.

2SA-24:11 For when David was up in the morning, the word of the

LORD came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying, <came>

<word>

2SA-24:12 Go and say unto David, Thus saith the LORD, I offer

thee three [things] ; choose thee one of them, that I may [do

it] unto thee. <choose> <david> <do> <go> <lord> <may> <offer>

2SA-24:13 So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him,

Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt

thou flee three months before thine enemies, while they pursue

thee? or that there be three days' pestilence in thy land? now

advise, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.

2SA-24:14 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait:let us

fall now into the hand of the LORD; for his mercies [are] great:

and let me not fall into the hand of man. <are> <david> <fall>

2SA-24:15 So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the

morning even to the time appointed:and there died of the people

from Dan even to Beersheba seventy thousand men. <appointed>

<time>

2SA-24:16 And when the angel stretched out his hand upon

Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented him of the evil, and

said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough:stay

now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD was by the

threshingplace of Araunah the Jebusite. <angel> <araunah>

2SA-24:17 And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the angel

that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have

done wickedly:but these sheep, what have they done? let thine

hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house.

2SA-24:18 And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him, Go

up, rear an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Araunah

the Jebusite. <altar> <araunah> <came> <david> <day> <gad> <go>

2SA-24:19 And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as

the LORD commanded. <commanded> <david> <gad> <lord> <saying>

<went>

2SA-24:20 And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants

coming on toward him:and Araunah went out, and bowed himself

before the king on his face upon the ground. <araunah> <before>

2SA-24:21 And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come

to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshingfloor of

thee, to build an altar unto the LORD, that the plague may be

stayed from the people. <altar> <araunah> <build> <buy> <come>

2SA-24:22 And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the king take

and offer up what [seemeth] good unto him:behold, [here be] oxen

for burnt sacrifice, and threshing instruments and [other]

instruments of the oxen for wood. <araunah> <behold> <burnt>

2SA-24:23 All these [things] did Araunah, [as] a king, give unto

the king. And Araunah said unto the king, The LORD thy God

accept thee. <all> <araunah> <did> <give> <god> <king> <lord>

2SA-24:24 And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely

buy [it] of thee at a price:neither will I offer burnt offerings

unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So

David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels

of silver. <araunah> <bought> <burnt> <buy> <cost> <david>

2SA-24:25 And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and

offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was

entreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.

<there>

1KI-1:1 Now king David was old [and] stricken in years; and they

covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat. <clothes>

1KI-1:2 Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let there be

sought for my lord the king a young virgin:and let her stand

before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy

bosom, that my lord the king may get heat. <before> <bosom>

<young>

1KI-1:3 So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the

coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought

her to the king. <all> <brought> <coasts> <damsel> <fair>

1KI-1:4 And the damsel [was] very fair, and cherished the king,

and ministered to him:but the king knew her not. <cherished>

1KI-1:5 Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying,

I will be king:and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and

fifty men to run before him. <before> <chariots> <exalted>

1KI-1:6 And his father had not displeased him at any time in

saying, Why hast thou done so? and he also [was a] very goodly

[man] ; and [his mother] bare him after Absalom. <after> <also>

1KI-1:7 And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with

Abiathar the priest:and they following Adonijah helped [him] .

1KI-1:8 But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada,

and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men

which [belonged] to David, were not with Adonijah. <belonged>

1KI-1:9 And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the

stone of Zoheleth, which [is] by Enrogel, and called all his

brethren the king's sons, and all the men of Judah the king's

servants:<all> <brethren> <called> <cattle> <enrogel> <fat>

1KI-1:10 But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men,

and Solomon his brother, he called not. <benaiah> <brother>

1KI-1:11 Wherefore Nathan spake unto Bathsheba the mother of

Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of

Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth [it] not?

1KI-1:12 Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee

counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of

thy son Solomon. <come> <counsel> <give> <let> <life> <mayest>

1KI-1:13 Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him,

Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thine handmaid,

saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he

shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign? <after>

1KI-1:14 Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I

also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words. <after>

1KI-1:15 And Bathsheba went in unto the king into the chamber:

and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered

unto the king. <bathsheba> <chamber> <into> <king> <ministered>

1KI-1:16 And Bathsheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king.

And the king said, What wouldest thou? <bathsheba> <bowed> <did>

1KI-1:17 And she said unto him, My lord, thou swarest by the

LORD thy God unto thine handmaid, [saying] , Assuredly Solomon

thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.

1KI-1:18 And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and now, my lord

the king, thou knowest [it] not:<behold> <king> <knowest> <lord>

1KI-1:19 And he hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in

abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, and

Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the host:but

Solomon thy servant hath he not called. <all> <called> <captain>

1KI-1:20 And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel [are]

upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit on the

throne of my lord the king after him. <after> <all> <are> <eyes>

1KI-1:21 Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king

shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be

counted offenders. <come> <counted> <fathers> <king> <lord>

<with>

1KI-1:22 And, lo, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the

prophet also came in. <also> <came> <king> <lo> <nathan>

1KI-1:23 And they told the king, saying, Behold Nathan the

prophet. And when he was come in before the king, he bowed

himself before the king with his face to the ground. <before>

1KI-1:24 And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said,

Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?

1KI-1:25 For he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and

fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the

king's sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the

priest; and, behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, God

save king Adonijah. <all> <before> <behold> <called> <captains>

1KI-1:26 But me, [even] me thy servant, and Zadok the priest,

and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, hath

he not called. <benaiah> <called> <even> <hath> <jehoiada>

1KI-1:27 Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast

not showed [it] unto thy servant, who should sit on the throne

of my lord the king after him? <after> <done> <hast> <him>

1KI-1:28 Then king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba.

And she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.

1KI-1:29 And the king sware, and said, [As] the LORD liveth,

that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress, <all> <distress>

1KI-1:30 Even as I sware unto thee by the LORD God of Israel,

saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he

shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly

do this day. <after> <assuredly> <certainly> <day> <do> <even>

1KI-1:31 Then Bathsheba bowed with [her] face to the earth, and

did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live

for ever. <bathsheba> <bowed> <david> <did> <earth> <ever>

<with>

1KI-1:32 And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and

Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they

came before the king. <before> <benaiah> <call> <came> <david>

<zadok>

1KI-1:33 The king also said unto them, Take with you the

servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon

mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon:<also> <bring>

1KI-1:34 And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint

him there king over Israel:and blow ye with the trumpet, and say,

God save king Solomon. <anoint> <blow> <god> <him> <israel>

1KI-1:35 Then ye shall come up after him, that he may come and

sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead:and I have

appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah. <after>

1KI-1:36 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and

said, Amen:the LORD God of my lord the king say so [too] .

1KI-1:37 As the LORD hath been with my lord the king, even so be

he with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of

my lord king David. <been> <david> <even> <greater> <hath>

1KI-1:38 So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and

Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the

Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king

David's mule, and brought him to Gihon. <benaiah> <brought>

1KI-1:39 And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the

tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and

all the people said, God save king Solomon. <all> <anointed>

1KI-1:40 And all the people came up after him, and the people

piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth

rent with the sound of them. <after> <all> <came> <earth>

1KI-1:41 And Adonijah and all the guests that [were] with him

heard [it] as they had made an end of eating. And when Joab

heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, Wherefore [is this]

noise of the city being in an uproar? <all> <being> <city>

1KI-1:42 And while he yet spake, behold, Jonathan the son of

Abiathar the priest came:and Adonijah said unto him, Come in;

for thou [art] a valiant man, and bringest good tidings. <art>

1KI-1:43 And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Verily our

lord king David hath made Solomon king. <answered> <david>

1KI-1:44 And the king hath sent with him Zadok the priest, and

Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the

Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and they have caused him to

ride upon the king's mule:<benaiah> <caused> <cherethites>

<zadok>

1KI-1:45 And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have

anointed him king in Gihon:and they are come up from thence

rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This [is] the noise that

ye have heard. <again> <anointed> <are> <city> <come> <gihon>

1KI-1:46 And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom.

1KI-1:47 And moreover the king's servants came to bless our lord

king David, saying, God make the name of Solomon better than thy

name, and make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king

bowed himself upon the bed. <bed> <better> <bless> <bowed>

1KI-1:48 And also thus said the king, Blessed [be] the LORD God

of Israel, which hath given [one] to sit on my throne this day,

mine eyes even seeing [it] . <also> <blessed> <day> <even>

1KI-1:49 And all the guests that [were] with Adonijah were

afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way. <afraid> <all>

1KI-1:50 And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose, and

went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar. <altar> <arose>

1KI-1:51 And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah

feareth king Solomon:for, lo, he hath caught hold on the horns

of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me to day that

he will not slay his servant with the sword. <altar> <behold>

1KI-1:52 And Solomon said, If he will show himself a worthy man,

there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth:but if

wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die. <die> <earth>

1KI-1:53 So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from

the altar. And he came and bowed himself to king Solomon:and

Solomon said unto him, Go to thine house. <altar> <bowed>

1KI-2:1 Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and

he charged Solomon his son, saying, <charged> <david> <days>

1KI-2:2 I go the way of all the earth:be thou strong therefore,

and show thyself a man; <all> <earth> <go> <man> <show> <strong>

1KI-2:3 And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his

ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his

judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of

Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and

whithersoever thou turnest thyself:<all> <charge> <commandments>

1KI-2:4 That the LORD may continue his word which he spake

concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way,

to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all

their soul, there shall not fail thee ( said he) a man on the

throne of Israel. <all> <before> <children> <concerning>

1KI-2:5 Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah

did to me, [and] what he did to the two captains of the hosts of

Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of

Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and

put the blood of war upon his girdle that [was] about his loins,

and in his shoes that [were] on his feet. <also> <amasa> <blood>

1KI-2:6 Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his

hoar head go down to the grave in peace. <do> <down> <go>

1KI-2:7 But show kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the

Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table:for so

they came to me when I fled because of Absalom thy brother.

1KI-2:8 And, behold, [thou hast] with thee Shimei the son of

Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous

curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim:but he came down to

meet me at Jordan, and I sware to him by the LORD, saying, I

will not put thee to death with the sword. <bahurim> <behold>

1KI-2:9 Now therefore hold him not guiltless:for thou [art] a

wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; but his

hoar head bring thou down to the grave with blood. <art> <blood>

1KI-2:10 So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the

city of David. <buried> <city> <david> <fathers> <slept> <so>

<with>

1KI-2:11 And the days that David reigned over Israel [were]

forty years:seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and

three years reigned he in Jerusalem. <david> <days> <forty>

1KI-2:12 Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father;

and his kingdom was established greatly. <david> <established>

1KI-2:13 And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the

mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he

said, Peaceably. <bathsheba> <came> <comest> <haggith> <mother>

1KI-2:14 He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And

she said, Say on. <have> <moreover> <on> <said> <say> <she>

1KI-2:15 And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine,

and [that] all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign:

howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's:

for it was his from the LORD. <all> <become> <faces> <howbeit>

1KI-2:16 And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And

she said unto him, Say on. <ask> <deny> <him> <now> <on> <one>

1KI-2:17 And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king,

( for he will not say thee nay, ) that he give me Abishag the

Shunammite to wife. <give> <king> <nay> <pray> <said> <say>

1KI-2:18 And Bathsheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto

the king. <bathsheba> <king> <said> <speak> <well> <will>

1KI-2:19 Bathsheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak

unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and

bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a

seat to be set for the king's mother; and she sat on his right

hand. <bathsheba> <bowed> <caused> <down> <hand> <him> <himself>

1KI-2:20 Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; [I

pray thee] , say me not nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on,

my mother:for I will not say thee nay. <ask> <desire> <king>

1KI-2:21 And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to

Adonijah thy brother to wife. <brother> <given> <let> <said>

1KI-2:22 And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And

why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for

him the kingdom also; for he [is] mine elder brother; even for

him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of

Zeruiah. <also> <answered> <ask> <brother> <dost> <elder> <even>

1KI-2:23 Then king Solomon sware by the LORD, saying, God do so

to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word

against his own life. <against> <also> <do> <god> <have> <king>

1KI-2:24 Now therefore, [as] the LORD liveth, which hath

established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and

who hath made me an house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put

to death this day. <david> <day> <death> <established> <father>

1KI-2:25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of

Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died. <benaiah> <died>

1KI-2:26 And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to

Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou [art] worthy of death:

but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou

barest the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and

because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was

afflicted. <afflicted> <all> <anathoth> <ark> <art> <barest>

1KI-2:27 So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto

the LORD; that he might fulfil the word of the LORD, which he

spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh. <being>

1KI-2:28 Then tidings came to Joab:for Joab had turned after

Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto

the tabernacle of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the

altar. <after> <altar> <came> <caught> <fled> <had> <hold>

1KI-2:29 And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled unto

the tabernacle of the LORD; and, behold, [he is] by the altar.

Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall

upon him. <altar> <behold> <benaiah> <fall> <fled> <go> <him>

1KI-2:30 And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the LORD, and

said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay;

but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again,

saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me. <again>

1KI-2:31 And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and

fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the

innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of

my father. <away> <blood> <bury> <do> <fall> <father> <hath>

1KI-2:32 And the LORD shall return his blood upon his own head,

who fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and

slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing [thereof,

to wit] , Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel,

and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.

1KI-2:33 Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of

Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever:but upon David, and

upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall

there be peace for ever from the LORD. <blood> <david> <ever>

1KI-2:34 So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon

him, and slew him:and he was buried in his own house in the

wilderness. <benaiah> <buried> <fell> <him> <house> <jehoiada>

1KI-2:35 And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his

room over the host:and Zadok the priest did the king put in the

room of Abiathar. <benaiah> <did> <host> <jehoiada> <king>

1KI-2:36 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto

him, Build thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go

not forth thence any whither. <any> <build> <called> <dwell>

1KI-2:37 For it shall be, [that] on the day thou goest out, and

passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that

thou shalt surely die:thy blood shall be upon thine own head.

1KI-2:38 And Shimei said unto the king, The saying [is] good:as

my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei

dwelt in Jerusalem many days. <days> <do> <dwelt> <good> <hath>

1KI-2:39 And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two

of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish son of Maachah

king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants

[be] in Gath. <away> <behold> <came> <end> <gath> <king>

1KI-2:40 And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath

to Achish to seek his servants:and Shimei went, and brought his

servants from Gath. <arose> <ass> <brought> <gath> <saddled>

1KI-2:41 And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from

Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again. <again> <come> <gath>

1KI-2:42 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto

him, Did I not make thee to swear by the LORD, and protested

unto thee, saying, Know for a certain, on the day thou goest out,

and walkest abroad any whither, that thou shalt surely die? and

thou saidst unto me, The word [that] I have heard [is] good.

1KI-2:43 Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD, and

the commandment that I have charged thee with? <charged>

<with>

1KI-2:44 The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the

wickedness which thine heart is privy to, that thou didst to

David my father:therefore the LORD shall return thy wickedness

upon thine own head; <all> <david> <didst> <father> <head>

1KI-2:45 And king Solomon [shall be] blessed, and the throne of

David shall be established before the LORD for ever. <before>

1KI-2:46 So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada;

which went out, and fell upon him, that he died. And the kingdom

was established in the hand of Solomon. <benaiah> <commanded>

1KI-3:1 And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt,

and took Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her into the city of

David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and

the house of the LORD, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.

<with>

1KI-3:2 Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there

was no house built unto the name of the LORD, until those days.

1KI-3:3 And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of

David his father:only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high

places. <burnt> <david> <father> <high> <incense> <lord> <loved>

1KI-3:4 And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that

[was] the great high place:a thousand burnt offerings did

Solomon offer upon that altar. <altar> <burnt> <did> <gibeon>

1KI-3:5 In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by

night:and God said, Ask what I shall give thee. <appeared> <ask>

<what>

1KI-3:6 And Solomon said, Thou hast showed unto thy servant

David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee

in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with

thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou

hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as [it is] this day.

1KI-3:7 And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king

instead of David my father:and I [am but] a little child:I know

not [how] to go out or come in. <child> <come> <david> <father>

1KI-3:8 And thy servant [is] in the midst of thy people which

thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor

counted for multitude. <cannot> <chosen> <counted> <great>

<which>

1KI-3:9 Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to

judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad:for

who is able to judge this thy so great a people? <bad> <between>

1KI-3:10 And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked

this thing. <asked> <had> <lord> <pleased> <solomon> <speech>

1KI-3:11 And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this

thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast

asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine

enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern

judgment; <asked> <because> <discern> <enemies> <god> <hast>

1KI-3:12 Behold, I have done according to thy words:lo, I have

given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was

none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise

like unto thee. <after> <any> <arise> <before> <behold> <done>

1KI-3:13 And I have also given thee that which thou hast not

asked, both riches, and honour:so that there shall not be any

among the kings like unto thee all thy days. <all> <also>

1KI-3:14 And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes

and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will

lengthen thy days. <commandments> <david> <days> <did> <father>

1KI-3:15 And Solomon awoke; and, behold, [it was] a dream. And

he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant

of the LORD, and offered up burnt offerings, and offered peace

offerings, and made a feast to all his servants. <all> <ark>

1KI-3:16 Then came there two women, [that were] harlots, unto

the king, and stood before him. <before> <came> <harlots> <him>

1KI-3:17 And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman

dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in

the house. <child> <delivered> <dwell> <house> <lord> <one>

1KI-3:18 And it came to pass the third day after that I was

delivered, that this woman was delivered also:and we [were]

together; [there was] no stranger with us in the house, save we

two in the house. <after> <also> <came> <day> <delivered>

1KI-3:19 And this woman's child died in the night; because she

overlaid it. <because> <child> <died> <night> <overlaid> <she>

<this>

1KI-3:20 And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside

me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and

laid her dead child in my bosom. <arose> <beside> <bosom>

1KI-3:21 And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck,

behold, it was dead:but when I had considered it in the morning,

behold, it was not my son, which I did bear. <bear> <behold>

1KI-3:22 And the other woman said, Nay; but the living [is] my

son, and the dead [is] thy son. And this said, No; but the dead

[is] thy son, and the living [is] my son. Thus they spake before

the king. <before> <dead> <king> <living> <nay> <no> <other>

1KI-3:23 Then said the king, The one saith, This [is] my son

that liveth, and thy son [is] the dead:and the other saith, Nay;

but thy son [is] the dead, and my son [is] the living. <dead>

1KI-3:24 And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a

sword before the king. <before> <bring> <brought> <king> <said>

<sword>

1KI-3:25 And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and

give half to the one, and half to the other. <child> <divide>

1KI-3:26 Then spake the woman whose the living child [was] unto

the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O

my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But

the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, [but] divide

[it] . <bowels> <child> <divide> <give> <king> <let> <living>

1KI-3:27 Then the king answered and said, Give her the living

child, and in no wise slay it:she [is] the mother thereof.

1KI-3:28 And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had

judged; and they feared the king:for they saw that the wisdom of

God [was] in him, to do judgment. <all> <do> <feared> <god>

1KI-4:1 So king Solomon was king over all Israel. <all> <israel>

1KI-4:2 And these [were] the princes which he had; Azariah the

son of Zadok the priest, <azariah> <had> <priest> <princes>

1KI-4:3 Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes;

Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder. <ahiah> <ahilud>

<sons>

1KI-4:4 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was] over the host:and

Zadok and Abiathar [were] the priests:<benaiah> <host>

1KI-4:5 And Azariah the son of Nathan [was] over the officers;

and Zabud the son of Nathan [was] principal officer, [and] the

king's friend:<azariah> <friend> <nathan> <officer> <officers>

1KI-4:6 And Ahishar [was] over the household:and Adoniram the

son of Abda [was] over the tribute. <ahishar> <household> <over>

1KI-4:7 And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, which

provided victuals for the king and his household:each man his

month in a year made provision. <all> <each> <had> <household>

<year>

1KI-4:8 And these [are] their names:The son of Hur, in mount

Ephraim:<are> <ephraim> <hur> <mount> <names> <son> <these>

1KI-4:9 The son of Dekar, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and

Bethshemesh, and Elonbethhanan:<bethshemesh> <dekar>

1KI-4:10 The son of Hesed, in Aruboth; to him [pertained] Sochoh,

and all the land of Hepher:<all> <aruboth> <hepher> <hesed>

1KI-4:11 The son of Abinadab, in all the region of Dor; which

had Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife:<all> <daughter>

1KI-4:12 Baana the son of Ahilud; [to him pertained] Taanach and

Megiddo, and all Bethshean, which [is] by Zartanah beneath

Jezreel, from Bethshean to Abelmeholah, [even] unto [the place

that is] beyond Jokneam:<ahilud> <all> <baana> <beneath>

1KI-4:13 The son of Geber, in Ramothgilead; to him [pertained]

the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which [are] in Gilead; to

him [also pertained] the region of Argob, which [is] in Bashan,

threescore great cities with walls and brazen bars:<also> <are>

1KI-4:14 Ahinadab the son of Iddo [had] Mahanaim:<ahinadab>

1KI-4:15 Ahimaaz [was] in Naphtali; he also took Basmath the

daughter of Solomon to wife:<ahimaaz> <also> <basmath>

1KI-4:16 Baanah the son of Hushai [was] in Asher and in Aloth:

1KI-4:17 Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar:<issachar>

1KI-4:18 Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin:<benjamin> <elah>

1KI-4:19 Geber the son of Uri [was] in the country of Gilead,

[in] the country of Sihon king of the Amorites, and of Og king

of Bashan; and [he was] the only officer which [was] in the land.

1KI-4:20 Judah and Israel [were] many, as the sand which [is] by

the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry.

1KI-4:21 And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river

unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt:

they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his

life. <all> <border> <brought> <days> <egypt> <kingdoms> <land>

1KI-4:22 And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures

of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal, <day> <fine>

1KI-4:23 Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and

an hundred sheep, beside harts, and roebucks, and fallowdeer,

and fatted fowl. <beside> <fallowdeer> <fat> <fatted> <fowl>

1KI-4:24 For he had dominion over all [the region] on this side

the river, from Tiphsah even to Azzah, over all the kings on

this side the river:and he had peace on all sides round about

him. <all> <azzah> <dominion> <even> <had> <him> <kings> <on>

1KI-4:25 And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his

vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the

days of Solomon. <all> <beersheba> <dan> <days> <dwelt> <even>

1KI-4:26 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his

chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. <chariots> <forty> <had>

1KI-4:27 And those officers provided victual for king Solomon,

and for all that came unto king Solomon's table, every man in

his month:they lacked nothing. <all> <came> <every> <king>

1KI-4:28 Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries

brought they unto the place where [the officers] were, every man

according to his charge. <also> <barley> <brought> <charge>

<where>

1KI-4:29 And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding

much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that [is] on the

sea shore. <even> <exceeding> <gave> <god> <heart> <largeness>

1KI-4:30 And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the

children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt. <all>

1KI-4:31 For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite,

and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol:and his

fame was in all nations round about. <all> <chalcol> <darda>

1KI-4:32 And he spake three thousand proverbs:and his songs were

a thousand and five. <five> <proverbs> <songs> <spake>

1KI-4:33 And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that [is] in

Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall:he

spake also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and

of fishes. <also> <beasts> <cedar> <creeping> <even> <fishes>

1KI-4:34 And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of

Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his

wisdom. <all> <came> <earth> <had> <hear> <heard> <kings>

1KI-5:1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon;

for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of

his father:for Hiram was ever a lover of David. <anointed>

1KI-5:2 And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying, <hiram> <saying>

1KI-5:3 Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an

house unto the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were

about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles

of his feet. <build> <could> <david> <every> <father> <feet>

1KI-5:4 But now the LORD my God hath given me rest on every side,

[so that there is] neither adversary nor evil occurrent.

1KI-5:5 And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name

of the LORD my God, as the LORD spake unto David my father,

saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he

shall build an house unto my name. <behold> <build> <david>

1KI-5:6 Now therefore command thou that they hew me cedar trees

out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants:and

unto thee will I give hire for thy servants according to all

that thou shalt appoint:for thou knowest that [there is] not

among us any that can skill to hew timber like unto the

Sidonians. <all> <among> <any> <appoint> <can> <cedar> <command>

<with>

1KI-5:7 And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of

Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed [be] the

LORD this day, which hath given unto David a wise son over this

great people. <blessed> <came> <david> <day> <given> <great>

<words>

1KI-5:8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the

things which thou sentest to me for:[and] I will do all thy

desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.

1KI-5:9 My servants shall bring [them] down from Lebanon unto

the sea:and I will convey them by sea in floats unto the place

that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged

there, and thou shalt receive [them] :and thou shalt accomplish

my desire, in giving food for my household. <appoint> <bring>

1KI-5:10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees

[according to] all his desire. <all> <cedar> <desire> <fir>

1KI-5:11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of

wheat [for] food to his household, and twenty measures of pure

oil:thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year. <food> <gave>

1KI-5:12 And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him:

and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made

a league together. <between> <gave> <him> <hiram> <league>

1KI-5:13 And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and

the levy was thirty thousand men. <all> <israel> <king> <levy>

1KI-5:14 And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by

courses:a month they were in Lebanon, [and] two months at home:

and Adoniram [was] over the levy. <courses> <home> <lebanon>

1KI-5:15 And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare

burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains; <bare>

1KI-5:16 Beside the chief of Solomon's officers which [were]

over the work, three thousand and three hundred, which ruled

over the people that wrought in the work. <beside> <chief>

1KI-5:17 And the king commanded, and they brought great stones,

costly stones, [and] hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the

house. <brought> <commanded> <costly> <foundation> <great>

1KI-5:18 And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did hew

[them] , and the stonesquarers:so they prepared timber and

stones to build the house. <build> <builders> <did> <hew>

1KI-6:1 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth

year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of

Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the

month Zif, which [is] the second month, that he began to build

the house of the LORD. <after> <began> <build> <came> <children>

1KI-6:2 And the house which king Solomon built for the LORD, the

length thereof [was] threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof

twenty [cubits] , and the height thereof thirty cubits.

1KI-6:3 And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty

cubits [was] the length thereof, according to the breadth of the

house; [and] ten cubits [was] the breadth thereof before the

house. <before> <breadth> <cubits> <house> <length> <porch>

1KI-6:4 And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.

1KI-6:5 And against the wall of the house he built chambers

round about, [against] the walls of the house round about,

[both] of the temple and of the oracle:and he made chambers

round about:<against> <both> <built> <chambers> <house> <made>

1KI-6:6 The nethermost chamber [was] five cubits broad, and the

middle [was] six cubits broad, and the third [was] seven cubits

broad:for without [in the wall] of the house he made narrowed

rests round about, that [the beams] should not be fastened in

the walls of the house. <beams> <broad> <chamber> <cubits>

1KI-6:7 And the house, when it was in building, was built of

stone made ready before it was brought thither:so that there was

neither hammer nor ax [nor] any tool of iron heard in the house,

while it was in building. <any> <ax> <before> <brought>

1KI-6:8 The door for the middle chamber [was] in the right side

of the house:and they went up with winding stairs into the

middle [chamber] , and out of the middle into the third.

1KI-6:9 So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the

house with beams and boards of cedar. <beams> <boards> <built>

1KI-6:10 And [then] he built chambers against all the house,

five cubits high:and they rested on the house [with] timber of

cedar. <against> <all> <built> <cedar> <chambers> <cubits>

1KI-6:11 And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying,

1KI-6:12 [Concerning] this house which thou art in building, if

thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and

keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my

word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father:<all> <art>

1KI-6:13 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will

not forsake my people Israel. <among> <children> <dwell>

1KI-6:14 So Solomon built the house, and finished it. <built>

1KI-6:15 And he built the walls of the house within with boards

of cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the

ceiling:[and] he covered [them] on the inside with wood, and

covered the floor of the house with planks of fir. <boards>

1KI-6:16 And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house,

both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar:he even built

[them] for it within, [even] for the oracle, [even] for the most

holy [place] . <boards> <both> <built> <cedar> <cubits> <even>

1KI-6:17 And the house, that [is] , the temple before it, was

forty cubits [long] . <before> <cubits> <forty> <house> <long>

1KI-6:18 And the cedar of the house within [was] carved with

knops and open flowers:all [was] cedar; there was no stone seen.

1KI-6:19 And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set

there the ark of the covenant of the LORD. <ark> <covenant>

1KI-6:20 And the oracle in the forepart [was] twenty cubits in

length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the

height thereof:and he overlaid it with pure gold; and [so]

covered the altar [which was of] cedar. <altar> <breadth>

1KI-6:21 So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold:and

he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and

he overlaid it with gold. <before> <chains> <gold> <house>

1KI-6:22 And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had

finished all the house:also the whole altar that [was] by the

oracle he overlaid with gold. <all> <also> <altar> <finished>

1KI-6:23 And within the oracle he made two cherubims [of] olive

tree, [each] ten cubits high. <cherubims> <cubits> <each> <high>

1KI-6:24 And five cubits [was] the one wing of the cherub, and

five cubits the other wing of the cherub:from the uttermost part

of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other [were] ten

cubits. <cherub> <cubits> <five> <one> <other> <part> <ten>

1KI-6:25 And the other cherub [was] ten cubits:both the

cherubims [were] of one measure and one size. <both> <cherub>

1KI-6:26 The height of the one cherub [was] ten cubits, and so

[was it] of the other cherub. <cherub> <cubits> <height> <one>

1KI-6:27 And he set the cherubims within the inner house:and

they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the

wing of the one touched the [one] wall, and the wing of the

other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one

another in the midst of the house. <another> <cherub>

1KI-6:28 And he overlaid the cherubims with gold. <cherubims>

1KI-6:29 And he carved all the walls of the house round about

with carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers,

within and without. <all> <carved> <cherubims> <figures>

1KI-6:30 And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold,

within and without. <floor> <gold> <house> <overlaid> <with>

1KI-6:31 And for the entering of the oracle he made doors [of]

olive tree:the lintel [and] side posts [were] a fifth part [of

the wall] . <doors> <entering> <fifth> <lintel> <made> <olive>

1KI-6:32 The two doors also [were of] olive tree; and he carved

upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers,

and overlaid [them] with gold, and spread gold upon the

cherubims, and upon the palm trees. <also> <carved> <carvings>

1KI-6:33 So also made he for the door of the temple posts [of]

olive tree, a fourth part [of the wall] . <also> <door> <fourth>

1KI-6:34 And the two doors [were of] fir tree:the two leaves of

the one door [were] folding, and the two leaves of the other

door [were] folding. <door> <doors> <fir> <folding> <leaves>

1KI-6:35 And he carved [thereon] cherubims and palm trees and

open flowers:and covered [them] with gold fitted upon the carved

work. <carved> <cherubims> <covered> <fitted> <flowers> <gold>

1KI-6:36 And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed

stone, and a row of cedar beams. <beams> <built> <cedar> <court>

1KI-6:37 In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of

the LORD laid, in the month Zif:<foundation> <fourth> <house>

1KI-6:38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which [is]

the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the

parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he

seven years in building it. <all> <building> <bul> <eighth>

1KI-7:1 But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years,

and he finished all his house. <all> <building> <finished>

1KI-7:2 He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon; the

length thereof [was] an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof

fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four

rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars. <also>

1KI-7:3 And [it was] covered with cedar above upon the beams,

that [lay] on forty five pillars, fifteen [in] a row. <beams>

1KI-7:4 And [there were] windows [in] three rows, and light

[was] against light [in] three ranks. <against> <light> <ranks>

1KI-7:5 And all the doors and posts [were] square, with the

windows:and light [was] against light [in] three ranks.

1KI-7:6 And he made a porch of pillars; the length thereof [was]

fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits:and the

porch [was] before them:and the [other] pillars and the thick

beam [were] before them. <beam> <before> <breadth> <cubits>

1KI-7:7 Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge,

[even] the porch of judgment:and [it was] covered with cedar

from one side of the floor to the other. <cedar> <covered>

1KI-7:8 And his house where he dwelt [had] another court within

the porch, [which] was of the like work. Solomon made also an

house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken [to wife] , like

unto this porch. <also> <another> <court> <daughter> <dwelt>

1KI-7:9 All these [were of] costly stones, according to the

measures of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without,

even from the foundation unto the coping, and [so] on the

outside toward the great court. <all> <coping> <costly> <court>

1KI-7:10 And the foundation [was of] costly stones, even great

stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.

<ten>

1KI-7:11 And above [were] costly stones, after the measures of

hewed stones, and cedars. <after> <cedars> <costly> <hewed>

1KI-7:12 And the great court round about [was] with three rows

of hewed stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner

court of the house of the LORD, and for the porch of the house.

1KI-7:13 And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.

1KI-7:14 He [was] a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, and

his father [was] a man of Tyre, a worker in brass:and he was

filled with wisdom, and understanding, and cunning to work all

works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his

work. <all> <brass> <came> <cunning> <father> <filled> <king>

1KI-7:15 For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits

high apiece:and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of

them about. <apiece> <brass> <cast> <compass> <cubits> <did>

1KI-7:16 And he made two chapiters [of] molten brass, to set

upon the tops of the pillars:the height of the one chapiter

[was] five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter [was]

five cubits:<brass> <chapiter> <chapiters> <cubits> <five>

<two>

1KI-7:17 [And] nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work,

for the chapiters which [were] upon the top of the pillars;

seven for the one chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter.

1KI-7:18 And he made the pillars, and two rows round about upon

the one network, to cover the chapiters that [were] upon the top,

with pomegranates:and so did he for the other chapiter.

<with>

1KI-7:19 And the chapiters that [were] upon the top of the

pillars [were] of lily work in the porch, four cubits.

1KI-7:20 And the chapiters upon the two pillars [had

pomegranates] also above, over against the belly which [was] by

the network:and the pomegranates [were] two hundred in rows

round about upon the other chapiter. <against> <also> <belly>

1KI-7:21 And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple:

and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof

Jachin:and he set up the left pillar, and called the name

thereof Boaz. <boaz> <called> <jachin> <left> <name> <pillar>

1KI-7:22 And upon the top of the pillars [was] lily work:so was

the work of the pillars finished. <finished> <lily> <pillars>

1KI-7:23 And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim

to the other:[it was] round all about, and his height [was] five

cubits:and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.

1KI-7:24 And under the brim of it round about [there were] knops

compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about:

the knops [were] cast in two rows, when it was cast. <brim>

1KI-7:25 It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the

north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking

toward the south, and three looking toward the east:and the sea

[was set] above upon them, and all their hinder parts [were]

inward. <all> <east> <hinder> <inward> <looking> <north> <oxen>

<west>

1KI-7:26 And it [was] an hand breadth thick, and the brim

thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of

lilies:it contained two thousand baths. <baths> <breadth> <brim>

1KI-7:27 And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits [was] the

length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and

three cubits the height of it. <base> <bases> <brass> <breadth>

<three>

1KI-7:28 And the work of the bases [was] on this [manner] :they

had borders, and the borders [were] between the ledges:<bases>

1KI-7:29 And on the borders that [were] between the ledges

[were] lions, oxen, and cherubims:and upon the ledges [there

was] a base above:and beneath the lions and oxen [were] certain

additions made of thin work. <base> <beneath> <between>

1KI-7:30 And every base had four brazen wheels, and plates of

brass:and the four corners thereof had undersetters:under the

laver [were] undersetters molten, at the side of every addition.

1KI-7:31 And the mouth of it within the chapiter and above [was]

a cubit:but the mouth thereof [was] round [after] the work of

the base, a cubit and an half:and also upon the mouth of it

[were] gravings with their borders, foursquare, not round.

<work>

1KI-7:32 And under the borders [were] four wheels; and the

axletrees of the wheels [were joined] to the base:and the height

of a wheel [was] a cubit and half a cubit. <axletrees> <base>

1KI-7:33 And the work of the wheels [was] like the work of a

chariot wheel:their axletrees, and their naves, and their

felloes, and their spokes, [were] all molten. <all> <axletrees>

1KI-7:34 And [there were] four undersetters to the four corners

of one base:[and] the undersetters [were] of the very base

itself. <base> <corners> <four> <itself> <one> <there>

1KI-7:35 And in the top of the base [was there] a round compass

of half a cubit high:and on the top of the base the ledges

thereof and the borders thereof [were] of the same. <base>

1KI-7:36 For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the

borders thereof, he graved cherubims, lions, and palm trees,

according to the proportion of every one, and additions round

about. <borders> <cherubims> <every> <graved> <ledges> <lions>

1KI-7:37 After this [manner] he made the ten bases:all of them

had one casting, one measure, [and] one size. <after> <all>

1KI-7:38 Then made he ten lavers of brass:one laver contained

forty baths:[and] every laver was four cubits:[and] upon every

one of the ten bases one laver. <bases> <baths> <brass>

1KI-7:39 And he put five bases on the right side of the house,

and five on the left side of the house:and he set the sea on the

right side of the house eastward over against the south.

1KI-7:40 And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the

basins. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made

king Solomon for the house of the LORD:<all> <basins> <doing>

1KI-7:41 The two pillars, and the [two] bowls of the chapiters

that [were] on the top of the two pillars; and the two networks,

to cover the two bowls of the chapiters which [were] upon the

top of the pillars; <bowls> <chapiters> <cover> <networks> <on>

1KI-7:42 And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks,

[even] two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the

two bowls of the chapiters that [were] upon the pillars; <bowls>

1KI-7:43 And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases; <bases>

1KI-7:44 And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea; <one>

1KI-7:45 And the pots, and the shovels, and the basins:and all

these vessels, which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of

the LORD, [were of] bright brass. <all> <basins> <brass>

1KI-7:46 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the

clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan. <between> <cast> <clay>

1KI-7:47 And Solomon left all the vessels [unweighed] , because

they were exceeding many:neither was the weight of the brass

found out. <all> <because> <brass> <exceeding> <found> <left>

1KI-7:48 And Solomon made all the vessels that [pertained] unto

the house of the LORD:the altar of gold, and the table of gold,

whereupon the showbread [was] , <all> <altar> <gold> <house>

1KI-7:49 And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right

[side] , and five on the left, before the oracle, with the

flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs [of] gold, <before>

1KI-7:50 And the bowls, and the snuffers, and the basins, and

the spoons, and the censers [of] pure gold; and the hinges [of]

gold, [both] for the doors of the inner house, the most holy

[place, and] for the doors of the house, [to wit] , of the

temple. <basins> <both> <bowls> <censers> <doors> <gold>

1KI-7:51 So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for

the house of the LORD. And Solomon brought in the things which

David his father had dedicated; [even] the silver, and the gold,

and the vessels, did he put among the treasures of the house of

the LORD. <all> <among> <brought> <david> <dedicated> <did>

1KI-8:1 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the

heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of

Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up

the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David,

which [is] Zion. <all> <ark> <assembled> <bring> <chief>

1KI-8:2 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king

Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which [is] the

seventh month. <all> <assembled> <ethanim> <feast> <israel>

1KI-8:3 And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took

up the ark. <all> <ark> <came> <elders> <israel> <priests> <took>

1KI-8:4 And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the

tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that

[were] in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the

Levites bring up. <all> <ark> <bring> <brought> <congregation>

1KI-8:5 And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel,

that were assembled unto him, [were] with him before the ark,

sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered

for multitude. <all> <ark> <assembled> <before> <congregation>

1KI-8:6 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of

the LORD unto his place, into the oracle of the house, to the

most holy [place, even] under the wings of the cherubims. <ark>

1KI-8:7 For the cherubims spread forth [their] two wings over

the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the

staves thereof above. <ark> <cherubims> <covered> <forth> <over>

1KI-8:8 And they drew out the staves, that the ends of the

staves were seen out in the holy [place] before the oracle, and

they were not seen without:and there they are unto this day.

1KI-8:9 [There was] nothing in the ark save the two tables of

stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made [a

covenant] with the children of Israel, when they came out of the

land of Egypt. <ark> <came> <children> <covenant> <egypt>

1KI-8:10 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of

the holy [place] , that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,

1KI-8:11 So that the priests could not stand to minister because

of the cloud:for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of

the LORD. <because> <cloud> <could> <filled> <glory> <had>

1KI-8:12 Then spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell

in the thick darkness. <darkness> <dwell> <lord> <said>

1KI-8:13 I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a

settled place for thee to abide in for ever. <built> <dwell>

1KI-8:14 And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the

congregation of Israel:( and all the congregation of Israel

stood; ) <all> <blessed> <congregation> <face> <israel> <king>

1KI-8:15 And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, which

spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his

hand fulfilled [it] , saying, <blessed> <david> <father>

1KI-8:16 Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out

of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to

build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David

to be over my people Israel. <all> <brought> <build> <chose>

1KI-8:17 And it was in the heart of David my father to build an

house for the name of the LORD God of Israel. <build> <david>

1KI-8:18 And the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was

in thine heart to build an house unto my name, thou didst well

that it was in thine heart. <build> <david> <didst> <father>

1KI-8:19 Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy

son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the

house unto my name. <build> <come> <forth> <house> <loins>

1KI-8:20 And the LORD hath performed his word that he spake, and

I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the

throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built an house

for the name of the LORD God of Israel. <built> <david> <father>

<word>

1KI-8:21 And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein [is]

the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when

he brought them out of the land of Egypt. <ark> <brought>

1KI-8:22 And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the

presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his

hands toward heaven:<all> <altar> <before> <congregation>

1KI-8:23 And he said, LORD God of Israel, [there is] no God like

thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant

and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their

heart:<all> <before> <beneath> <covenant> <earth> <god> <heart>

1KI-8:24 Who hast kept with thy servant David my father that

thou promisedst him:thou spakest also with thy mouth, and hast

fulfilled [it] with thine hand, as [it is] this day. <also>

<with>

1KI-8:25 Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with thy

servant David my father that thou promisedst him, saying, There

shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of

Israel; so that thy children take heed to their way, that they

walk before me as thou hast walked before me. <before>

1KI-8:26 And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be

verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father.

1KI-8:27 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the

heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less

this house that I have builded? <behold> <builded> <cannot>

1KI-8:28 Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant,

and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry

and to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee to day:

1KI-8:29 That thine eyes may be open toward this house night and

day, [even] toward the place of which thou hast said, My name

shall be there:that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer which

thy servant shall make toward this place. <day> <even> <eyes>

1KI-8:30 And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant,

and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place:

and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place:and when thou hearest,

forgive. <dwelling> <forgive> <hear> <hearest> <hearken>

1KI-8:31 If any man trespass against his neighbour, and an oath

be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before

thine altar in this house:<against> <altar> <any> <before>

1KI-8:32 Then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy

servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head;

and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his

righteousness. <bring> <condemning> <do> <give> <head> <hear>

1KI-8:33 When thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy,

because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to

thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto

thee in this house:<again> <against> <because> <before>

<when>

1KI-8:34 Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy

people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou

gavest unto their fathers. <again> <bring> <fathers> <forgive>

<which>

1KI-8:35 When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because

they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place,

and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou

afflictest them:<afflictest> <against> <because> <confess>

1KI-8:36 Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy

servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou teach them the

good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land,

which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.

1KI-8:37 If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence,

blasting, mildew, locust, [or] if there be caterpillar; if their

enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever

plague, whatsoever sickness [there be] ; <besiege> <blasting>

1KI-8:38 What prayer and supplication soever be [made] by any

man, [or] by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man

the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward

this house:<all> <any> <every> <forth> <hands> <heart> <house>

<which>

1KI-8:39 Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and

forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways,

whose heart thou knowest; ( for thou, [even] thou only, knowest

the hearts of all the children of men; ) <all> <children> <do>

1KI-8:40 That they may fear thee all the days that they live in

the land which thou gavest unto our fathers. <all> <days>

1KI-8:41 Moreover concerning a stranger, that [is] not of thy

people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name's

sake; <cometh> <concerning> <country> <far> <israel> <moreover>

1KI-8:42 ( For they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy

strong hand, and of thy stretched out arm; ) when he shall come

and pray toward this house; <arm> <come> <great> <hand> <hear>

1KI-8:43 Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do

according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for:that all

people of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as [do] thy

people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I

have builded, is called by thy name. <all> <builded> <called>

1KI-8:44 If thy people go out to battle against their enemy,

whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto the LORD

toward the city which thou hast chosen, and [toward] the house

that I have built for thy name:<against> <battle> <built>

1KI-8:45 Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their

supplication, and maintain their cause. <cause> <hear> <heaven>

1KI-8:46 If they sin against thee, ( for [there is] no man that

sinneth not, ) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to

the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land

of the enemy, far or near; <against> <angry> <away> <captives>

1KI-8:47 [Yet] if they shall bethink themselves in the land

whither they were carried captives, and repent, and make

supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them

captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we

have committed wickedness; <bethink> <captives> <carried>

1KI-8:48 And [so] return unto thee with all their heart, and

with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led

them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which

thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen,

and the house which I have built for thy name:<all> <away>

1KI-8:49 Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in

heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause, <cause>

1KI-8:50 And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee,

and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed

against thee, and give them compassion before them who carried

them captive, that they may have compassion on them:<against>

1KI-8:51 For they [be] thy people, and thine inheritance, which

thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the

furnace of iron:<broughtest> <egypt> <forth> <furnace>

1KI-8:52 That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of

thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to

hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee. <all>

1KI-8:53 For thou didst separate them from among all the people

of the earth, [to be] thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the

hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out

of Egypt, O Lord GOD. <all> <among> <broughtest> <didst> <earth>

1KI-8:54 And it was [so] , that when Solomon had made an end of

praying all this prayer and supplication unto the LORD, he arose

from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees

with his hands spread up to heaven. <all> <altar> <arose>

1KI-8:55 And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of

Israel with a loud voice, saying, <all> <blessed> <congregation>

1KI-8:56 Blessed [be] the LORD, that hath given rest unto his

people Israel, according to all that he promised:there hath not

failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by

the hand of Moses his servant. <all> <blessed> <failed> <given>

1KI-8:57 The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers:

let him not leave us, nor forsake us:<fathers> <forsake> <god>

1KI-8:58 That he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all

his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and

his judgments, which he commanded our fathers. <all> <commanded>

1KI-8:59 And let these my words, wherewith I have made

supplication before the LORD, be nigh unto the LORD our God day

and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the

cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter shall

require:<all> <before> <cause> <day> <god> <have> <israel> <let>

<words>

1KI-8:60 That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD

[is] God, [and that there is] none else. <all> <earth> <else>

1KI-8:61 Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our

God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as

at this day. <commandments> <day> <god> <heart> <keep> <let>

<your>

1KI-8:62 And the king, and all Israel with him, offered

sacrifice before the LORD. <all> <before> <him> <israel> <king>

1KI-8:63 And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings,

which he offered unto the LORD, two and twenty thousand oxen,

and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all

the children of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD. <all>

1KI-8:64 The same day did the king hallow the middle of the

court that [was] before the house of the LORD for there he

offered burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the

peace offerings:because the brazen altar that [was] before the

LORD [was] too little to receive the burnt offerings, and meat

offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings. <altar> <because>

1KI-8:65 And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel

with him, a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath

unto the river of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and

seven days, [even] fourteen days. <all> <before> <congregation>

1KI-8:66 On the eighth day he sent the people away:and they

blessed the king, and went unto their tents joyful and glad of

heart for all the goodness that the LORD had done for David his

servant, and for Israel his people. <all> <away> <blessed>

1KI-9:1 And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the

building of the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all

Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do, <all> <building>

1KI-9:2 That the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he

had appeared unto him at Gibeon. <appeared> <gibeon> <had> <him>

1KI-9:3 And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and

thy supplication, that thou hast made before me:I have hallowed

this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever;

and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.

1KI-9:4 And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father

walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do

according to all that I have commanded thee, [and] wilt keep my

statutes and my judgments:<all> <before> <commanded> <david>

1KI-9:5 Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon

Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying,

There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.

1KI-9:6 [But] if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or

your children, and will not keep my commandments [and] my

statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other

gods, and worship them:<all> <before> <children> <commandments>

1KI-9:7 Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have

given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name,

will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a

byword among all people:<all> <among> <byword> <cast> <cut>

1KI-9:8 And at this house, [which] is high, every one that

passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they

shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and to

this house? <astonished> <done> <every> <hath> <high> <hiss>

1KI-9:9 And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD

their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of

Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped

them, and served them:therefore hath the LORD brought upon them

all this evil. <all> <answer> <because> <brought> <egypt> <evil>

1KI-9:10 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when

Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the LORD, and the

king's house, <built> <came> <end> <had> <house> <houses> <lord>

1KI-9:11 ( [Now] Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon

with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all

his desire, ) that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in

the land of Galilee. <all> <cedar> <cities> <desire> <fir>

1KI-9:12 And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which

Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not. <came> <cities>

<which>

1KI-9:13 And he said, What cities [are] these which thou hast

given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul unto

this day. <are> <brother> <cabul> <called> <cities> <day>

1KI-9:14 And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.

1KI-9:15 And this [is] the reason of the levy which king Solomon

raised; for to build the house of the LORD, and his own house,

and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo,

and Gezer. <build> <gezer> <hazor> <house> <jerusalem> <king>

1KI-9:16 [For] Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken

Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that

dwelt in the city, and given it [for] a present unto his

daughter, Solomon's wife. <burnt> <canaanites> <city> <daughter>

1KI-9:17 And Solomon built Gezer, and Bethhoron the nether,

1KI-9:18 And Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,

1KI-9:19 And all the cities of store that Solomon had, and

cities for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen, and that

which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and

in all the land of his dominion. <all> <build> <chariots>

1KI-9:20 [And] all the people [that were] left of the Amorites,

Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which [were] not

of the children of Israel, <all> <amorites> <children>

1KI-9:21 Their children that were left after them in the land,

whom the children of Israel also were not able utterly to

destroy, upon those did Solomon levy a tribute of bondservice

unto this day. <after> <also> <bondservice> <children> <day>

1KI-9:22 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no

bondmen:but they [were] men of war, and his servants, and his

princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots, and his

horsemen. <bondmen> <captains> <chariots> <children> <did>

1KI-9:23 These [were] the chief of the officers that [were] over

Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, which bare rule over the

people that wrought in the work. <bare> <chief> <fifty> <five>

1KI-9:24 But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David

unto her house which [Solomon] had built for her:then did he

build Millo. <build> <built> <came> <city> <daughter> <david>

1KI-9:25 And three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt

offerings and peace offerings upon the altar which he built unto

the LORD, and he burnt incense upon the altar that [was] before

the LORD. So he finished the house. <altar> <before> <built>

1KI-9:26 And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Eziongeber,

which [is] beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the

land of Edom. <beside> <edom> <eloth> <eziongeber> <king> <land>

1KI-9:27 And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that

had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon. <had>

1KI-9:28 And they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence gold,

four hundred and twenty talents, and brought [it] to king

Solomon. <brought> <came> <fetched> <four> <gold> <hundred>

1KI-10:1 And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of

Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him

with hard questions. <came> <concerning> <fame> <hard> <heard>

1KI-10:2 And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with

camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones:

and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all

that was in her heart. <all> <bare> <came> <camels> <come>

1KI-10:3 And Solomon told her all her questions:there was not

[any] thing hid from the king, which he told her not. <all>

<which>

1KI-10:4 And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's

wisdom, and the house that he had built, <all> <built> <had>

1KI-10:5 And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his

servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel,

and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the

house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her. <apparel>

1KI-10:6 And she said to the king, It was a true report that I

heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom. <heard>

1KI-10:7 Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and

mine eyes had seen [it] :and, behold, the half was not told me:

thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.

1KI-10:8 Happy [are] thy men, happy [are] these thy servants,

which stand continually before thee, [and] that hear thy wisdom.

1KI-10:9 Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee,

to set thee on the throne of Israel:because the LORD loved

Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do judgment and

justice. <because> <blessed> <delighted> <do> <ever> <god>

1KI-10:10 And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of

gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones:there

came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen

of Sheba gave to king Solomon. <came> <gave> <gold> <great>

1KI-10:11 And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from

Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and

precious stones. <almug> <also> <brought> <gold> <great> <hiram>

1KI-10:12 And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the

house of the LORD, and for the king's house, harps also and

psalteries for singers:there came no such almug trees, nor were

seen unto this day. <almug> <also> <came> <day> <harps> <house>

1KI-10:13 And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her

desire, whatsoever she asked, beside [that] which Solomon gave

her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own

country, she and her servants. <all> <asked> <beside> <bounty>

1KI-10:14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one

year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold, <came>

1KI-10:15 Beside [that he had] of the merchantmen, and of the

traffic of the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia,

and of the governors of the country. <all> <arabia> <beside>

1KI-10:16 And king Solomon made two hundred targets [of] beaten

gold:six hundred [shekels] of gold went to one target. <beaten>

1KI-10:17 And [he made] three hundred shields [of] beaten gold;

three pound of gold went to one shield:and the king put them in

the house of the forest of Lebanon. <beaten> <forest> <gold>

1KI-10:18 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and

overlaid it with the best gold. <best> <gold> <great> <ivory>

1KI-10:19 The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne

[was] round behind:and [there were] stays on either side on the

place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays.

1KI-10:20 And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on

the other upon the six steps:there was not the like made in any

kingdom. <any> <kingdom> <like> <lions> <made> <on> <one>

1KI-10:21 And all king Solomon's drinking vessels [were of] gold,

and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon [were

of] pure gold; none [were of] silver:it was nothing accounted of

in the days of Solomon. <all> <days> <drinking> <forest> <gold>

1KI-10:22 For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the

navy of Hiram:once in three years came the navy of Tharshish,

bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks. <apes>

<years>

1KI-10:23 So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth

for riches and for wisdom. <all> <earth> <exceeded> <king>

1KI-10:24 And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his

wisdom, which God had put in his heart. <all> <earth> <god>

1KI-10:25 And they brought every man his present, vessels of

silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and

spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year. <armour>

1KI-10:26 And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen:

and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve

thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots,

and with the king at Jerusalem. <bestowed> <chariots> <cities>

1KI-10:27 And the king made silver [to be] in Jerusalem as

stones, and cedars made he [to be] as the sycamore trees that

[are] in the vale, for abundance. <are> <cedars> <jerusalem>

1KI-10:28 And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen

yarn:the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.

1KI-10:29 And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six

hundred [shekels] of silver, and an horse for an hundred and

fifty:and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the

kings of Syria, did they bring [them] out by their means. <all>

1KI-11:1 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together

with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites,

Edomites, Zidonians, [and] Hittites; <ammonites> <daughter>

1KI-11:2 Of the nations [concerning] which the LORD said unto

the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither

shall they come in unto you:[for] surely they will turn away

your heart after their gods:Solomon clave unto these in love.

1KI-11:3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three

hundred concubines:and his wives turned away his heart. <away>

1KI-11:4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, [that] his

wives turned away his heart after other gods:and his heart was

not perfect with the LORD his God, as [was] the heart of David

his father. <after> <away> <came> <david> <father> <god> <gods>

1KI-11:5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the

Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

1KI-11:6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went

not fully after the LORD, as [did] David his father. <after>

<went>

1KI-11:7 Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the

abomination of Moab, in the hill that [is] before Jerusalem, and

for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. <ammon>

1KI-11:8 And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which

burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods. <all> <burnt>

<wives>

1KI-11:9 And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart

was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto

him twice, <angry> <appeared> <because> <god> <had> <heart>

1KI-11:10 And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he

should not go after other gods:but he kept not that which the

LORD commanded. <after> <commanded> <concerning> <go> <gods>

1KI-11:11 Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as

this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my

statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the

kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant. <commanded>

1KI-11:12 Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David

thy father's sake:[but] I will rend it out of the hand of thy

son. <david> <days> <do> <hand> <notwithstanding> <rend> <sake>

1KI-11:13 Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; [but]

will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant's sake, and

for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen. <all> <away> <chosen>

1KI-11:14 And the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon,

Hadad the Edomite:he [was] of the king's seed in Edom.

1KI-11:15 For it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab

the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, after he

had smitten every male in Edom; <after> <bury> <came> <captain>

1KI-11:16 ( For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel,

until he had cut off every male in Edom:) <all> <cut> <did>

1KI-11:17 That Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his

father's servants with him, to go into Egypt; Hadad [being] yet

a little child. <being> <certain> <child> <edomites> <egypt>

1KI-11:18 And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran:and

they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt,

unto Pharaoh king of Egypt; which gave him an house, and

appointed him victuals, and gave him land. <appointed> <arose>

1KI-11:19 And Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh,

so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the

sister of Tahpenes the queen. <favour> <found> <gave> <great>

1KI-11:20 And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his son,

whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house:and Genubath was in

Pharaoh's household among the sons of Pharaoh. <among> <bare>

1KI-11:21 And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with

his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead,

Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to mine own

country. <captain> <country> <david> <dead> <depart> <egypt>

1KI-11:22 Then Pharaoh said unto him, But what hast thou lacked

with me, that, behold, thou seekest to go to thine own country?

And he answered, Nothing:howbeit let me go in any wise.

1KI-11:23 And God stirred him up [another] adversary, Rezon the

son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah:

1KI-11:24 And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over

a band, when David slew them [of Zobah] :and they went to

Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus. <band>

1KI-11:25 And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of

Solomon, beside the mischief that Hadad [did] :and he abhorred

Israel, and reigned over Syria. <adversary> <all> <beside>

1KI-11:26 And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda,

Solomon's servant, whose mother's name [was] Zeruah, a widow

woman, even he lifted up [his] hand against the king. <against>

1KI-11:27 And this [was] the cause that he lifted up [his] hand

against the king:Solomon built Millo, [and] repaired the

breaches of the city of David his father. <against> <breaches>

1KI-11:28 And the man Jeroboam [was] a mighty man of valour:and

Solomon seeing the young man that he was industrious, he made

him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph. <all>

1KI-11:29 And it came to pass at that time when Jeroboam went

out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found

him in the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and

they two [were] alone in the field:<ahijah> <alone> <came>

1KI-11:30 And Ahijah caught the new garment that [was] on him,

and rent it [in] twelve pieces:<ahijah> <caught> <garment> <him>

1KI-11:31 And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces:for thus

saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the

kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to

thee:<behold> <give> <god> <hand> <israel> <jeroboam> <kingdom>

1KI-11:32 ( But he shall have one tribe for my servant David's

sake, and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out

of all the tribes of Israel:) <all> <chosen> <city> <have>

1KI-11:33 Because that they have forsaken me, and have

worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the

god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon,

and have not walked in my ways, to do [that which is] right in

mine eyes, and [to keep] my statutes and my judgments, as [did]

David his father. <ammon> <ashtoreth> <because> <chemosh>

1KI-11:34 Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his

hand:but I will make him prince all the days of his life for

David my servant's sake, whom I chose, because he kept my

commandments and my statutes:<all> <because> <chose>

1KI-11:35 But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and

will give it unto thee, [even] ten tribes. <even> <give> <hand>

1KI-11:36 And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my

servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city

which I have chosen me to put my name there. <alway> <before>

1KI-11:37 And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according

to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel.

<will>

1KI-11:38 And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I

command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do [that is] right

in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David

my servant did; that I will be with thee, and build thee a sure

house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.

1KI-11:39 And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not

for ever. <afflict> <david> <ever> <seed> <this> <will>

1KI-11:40 Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. And

Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt,

and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon. <arose> <death>

1KI-11:41 And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he

did, and his wisdom, [are] they not written in the book of the

acts of Solomon? <all> <are> <book> <did> <rest> <solomon>

1KI-11:42 And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over

all Israel [was] forty years. <all> <forty> <israel> <jerusalem>

1KI-11:43 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in

the city of David his father:and Rehoboam his son reigned in his

stead. <buried> <city> <david> <father> <fathers> <rehoboam>

1KI-12:1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem:for all Israel were come

to Shechem to make him king. <all> <come> <him> <israel> <king>

1KI-12:2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat,

who was yet in Egypt, heard [of it] , ( for he was fled from the

presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt; ) <came>

1KI-12:3 That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the

congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying,

1KI-12:4 Thy father made our yoke grievous:now therefore make

thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke

which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee. <father>

1KI-12:5 And he said unto them, Depart yet [for] three days,

then come again to me. And the people departed. <again> <come>

1KI-12:6 And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that

stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said,

How do ye advise that I may answer this people? <advise>

1KI-12:7 And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a

servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and

answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy

servants for ever. <answer> <day> <ever> <good> <him> <people>

1KI-12:8 But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they

had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown

up with him, [and] which stood before him:<before> <consulted>

1KI-12:9 And he said unto them, What counsel give ye that we may

answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke

which thy father did put upon us lighter? <answer> <counsel>

1KI-12:10 And the young men that were grown up with him spake

unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this people that

spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but

make thou [it] lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them,

My little [finger] shall be thicker than my father's loins.

1KI-12:11 And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy

yoke, I will add to your yoke:my father hath chastised you with

whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. <chastise>

1KI-12:12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the

third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again

the third day. <again> <all> <appointed> <came> <come> <day>

1KI-12:13 And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook

the old men's counsel that they gave him; <answered> <counsel>

1KI-12:14 And spake to them after the counsel of the young men,

saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your

yoke:my father [also] chastised you with whips, but I will

chastise you with scorpions. <after> <also> <chastise>

1KI-12:15 Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for

the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying,

which the LORD spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the

son of Nebat. <ahijah> <cause> <hearkened> <jeroboam> <king>

1KI-12:16 So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not

unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion

have we in David? neither [have we] inheritance in the son of

Jesse:to your tents, O Israel:now see to thine own house, David.

So Israel departed unto their tents. <all> <answered> <david>

1KI-12:17 But [as for] the children of Israel which dwelt in the

cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. <children> <cities>

1KI-12:18 Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who [was] over the

tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died.

Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot,

to flee to Jerusalem. <all> <chariot> <died> <flee> <get> <him>

<with>

1KI-12:19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto

this day. <against> <david> <day> <house> <israel> <rebelled>

1KI-12:20 And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that

Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the

congregation, and made him king over all Israel:there was none

that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.

<when>

1KI-12:21 And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled

all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred

and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight

against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to

Rehoboam the son of Solomon. <again> <against> <all> <assembled>

1KI-12:22 But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God,

saying, <came> <god> <man> <saying> <shemaiah> <word>

1KI-12:23 Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah,

and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the

remnant of the people, saying, <all> <benjamin> <house> <judah>

<speak>

1KI-12:24 Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight

against your brethren the children of Israel:return every man to

his house; for this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore

to the word of the LORD, and returned to depart, according to

the word of the LORD. <against> <brethren> <children> <depart>

1KI-12:25 Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and

dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel.

1KI-12:26 And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom

return to the house of David:<david> <heart> <house> <jeroboam>

1KI-12:27 If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of

the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn

again unto their lord, [even] unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and

they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.

1KI-12:28 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves

[of] gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up

to Jerusalem:behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up

out of the land of Egypt. <behold> <brought> <calves> <counsel>

1KI-12:29 And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in

Dan. <bethel> <dan> <one> <other> <put> <set>

1KI-12:30 And this thing became a sin:for the people went [to

worship] before the one, [even] unto Dan. <became> <before>

1KI-12:31 And he made an house of high places, and made priests

of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.

1KI-12:32 And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on

the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that [is] in

Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel,

sacrificing unto the calves that he had made:and he placed in

Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made. <altar>

1KI-12:33 So he offered upon the altar which he had made in

Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, [even] in the

month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a

feast unto the children of Israel:and he offered upon the altar,

and burnt incense. <altar> <bethel> <burnt> <children> <day>

1KI-13:1 And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by

the word of the LORD unto Bethel:and Jeroboam stood by the altar

to burn incense. <altar> <behold> <bethel> <burn> <came> <god>

1KI-13:2 And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD,

and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child

shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon

thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn

incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee.

1KI-13:3 And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This [is] the

sign which the LORD hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent,

and the ashes that [are] upon it shall be poured out. <altar>

1KI-13:4 And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the

saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in

Bethel, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay

hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried

up, so that he could not pull it in again to him. <again>

<which>

1KI-13:5 The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from

the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given

by the word of the LORD. <also> <altar> <ashes> <given> <god>

1KI-13:6 And the king answered and said unto the man of God,

Entreat now the face of the LORD thy God, and pray for me, that

my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God besought

the LORD, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became

as [it was] before. <again> <answered> <became> <before>

1KI-13:7 And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with

me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward. <come>

1KI-13:8 And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt

give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither

will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:<bread> <drink>

1KI-13:9 For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD,

saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the

same way that thou camest. <again> <bread> <camest> <charged>

1KI-13:10 So he went another way, and returned not by the way

that he came to Bethel. <another> <bethel> <came> <returned>

1KI-13:11 Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons

came and told him all the works that the man of God had done

that day in Bethel:the words which he had spoken unto the king,

them they told also to their father. <all> <also> <bethel>

1KI-13:12 And their father said unto them, What way went he? For

his sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from

Judah. <came> <father> <god> <had> <judah> <man> <said> <seen>

1KI-13:13 And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they

saddled him the ass:and he rode thereon, <ass> <him> <rode>

1KI-13:14 And went after the man of God, and found him sitting

under an oak:and he said unto him, [Art] thou the man of God

that camest from Judah? And he said, I [am] . <after> <art>

1KI-13:15 Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat

bread. <bread> <come> <eat> <him> <home> <said> <then> <with>

1KI-13:16 And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in

with thee:neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in

this place:<bread> <drink> <eat> <go> <may> <neither> <nor>

1KI-13:17 For it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou

shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go

by the way that thou camest. <again> <bread> <camest> <drink>

<word>

1KI-13:18 He said unto him, I [am] a prophet also as thou [art] ;

and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD, saying,

Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread

and drink water. [But] he lied unto him. <also> <angel> <art>

1KI-13:19 So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his

house, and drank water. <back> <bread> <did> <drank> <eat> <him>

1KI-13:20 And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that

the word of the LORD came unto the prophet that brought him back:

1KI-13:21 And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah,

saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed

the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which

the LORD thy God commanded thee, <came> <commanded>

<which>

1KI-13:22 But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water

in the place, of the which [the LORD] did say to thee, Eat no

bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the

sepulchre of thy fathers. <back> <bread> <camest> <carcase>

1KI-13:23 And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and

after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, [to wit] ,

for the prophet whom he had brought back. <after> <ass> <back>

1KI-13:24 And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and

slew him:and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood

by it, the lion also stood by the carcase. <also> <ass>

<when>

1KI-13:25 And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcase cast

in the way, and the lion standing by the carcase:and they came

and told [it] in the city where the old prophet dwelt. <behold>

1KI-13:26 And when the prophet that brought him back from the

way heard [thereof] , he said, It [is] the man of God, who was

disobedient unto the word of the LORD:therefore the LORD hath

delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him,

according to the word of the LORD, which he spake unto him.

1KI-13:27 And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass.

And they saddled [him] . <ass> <him> <saddle> <saddled> <saying>

1KI-13:28 And he went and found his carcase cast in the way, and

the ass and the lion standing by the carcase:the lion had not

eaten the carcase, nor torn the ass. <ass> <carcase> <cast>

1KI-13:29 And the prophet took up the carcase of the man of God,

and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back:and the old

prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him. <ass> <back>

1KI-13:30 And he laid his carcase in his own grave; and they

mourned over him, [saying] , Alas, my brother! <alas> <brother>

1KI-13:31 And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he

spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the

sepulchre wherein the man of God [is] buried; lay my bones

beside his bones:<after> <beside> <bones> <buried> <bury> <came>

1KI-13:32 For the saying which he cried by the word of the LORD

against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the

high places which [are] in the cities of Samaria, shall surely

come to pass. <against> <all> <altar> <are> <bethel> <cities>

1KI-13:33 After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil

way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the

high places:whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became

[one] of the priests of the high places. <after> <again>

1KI-13:34 And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam,

even to cut [it] off, and to destroy [it] from off the face of

the earth. <became> <cut> <destroy> <earth> <even> <face>

1KI-14:1 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.

1KI-14:2 And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and

disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of

Jeroboam; and get thee to Shiloh:behold, there [is] Ahijah the

prophet, which told me that [I should be] king over this people.

1KI-14:3 And take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a

cruse of honey, and go to him:he shall tell thee what shall

become of the child. <become> <child> <cracknels> <cruse> <go>

NE-1:1 The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came

to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in

Shushan the palace, <came> <chisleu> <hachaliah> <month>

<year>

NE-1:2 That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and [certain]

men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had

escaped, which were left of the captivity, and concerning

Jerusalem. <asked> <brethren> <came> <captivity> <certain>

NE-1:3 And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the

captivity there in the province [are] in great affliction and

reproach:the wall of Jerusalem also [is] broken down, and the

gates thereof are burned with fire. <affliction> <also> <are>

NE-1:4 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat

down and wept, and mourned [certain] days, and fasted, and

prayed before the God of heaven, <before> <came> <certain>

NE-1:5 And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great

and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that

love him and observe his commandments:<beseech> <commandments>

NE-1:6 Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that

thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before

thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants,

and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have

sinned against thee:both I and my father's house have sinned.

NE-1:7 We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not

kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments,

which thou commandedst thy servant Moses. <against>

<which>

NE-1:8 Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst

thy servant Moses, saying, [If] ye transgress, I will scatter

you abroad among the nations:<among> <beseech> <commandedst>

NE-1:9 But [if] ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and

do them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost

part of the heaven, [yet] will I gather them from thence, and

will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name

there. <bring> <cast> <chosen> <commandments> <do> <gather>

NE-1:10 Now these [are] thy servants and thy people, whom thou

hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand. <are>

NE-1:11 O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive

to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants,

who desire to fear thy name:and prosper, I pray thee, thy

servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.

For I was the king's cupbearer. <attentive> <beseech>

NE-2:1 And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth

year of Artaxerxes the king, [that] wine [was] before him:and I

took up the wine, and gave [it] unto the king. Now I had not

been [beforetime] sad in his presence. <artaxerxes> <been>

<year>

NE-2:2 Wherefore the king said unto me, Why [is] thy countenance

sad, seeing thou [art] not sick? this [is] nothing [else] but

sorrow of heart. Then I was very sore afraid, <afraid> <art>

<why>

NE-2:3 And said unto the king, Let the king live for ever:why

should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my

fathers' sepulchres, [lieth] waste, and the gates thereof are

consumed with fire? <are> <city> <consumed> <countenance> <ever>

NE-2:4 Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make

request? So I prayed to the God of heaven. <dost> <god> <heaven>

NE-2:5 And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if

thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest

send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres,

that I may build it. <build> <city> <favour> <found> <have>

NE-2:6 And the king said unto me, ( the queen also sitting by

him, ) For how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou

return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time.

NE-2:7 Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king, let

letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they

may convey me over till I come into Judah; <beyond> <come>

NE-2:8 And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's forest,

that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the

palace which [appertained] to the house, and for the wall of the

city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king

granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.

NE-2:9 Then I came to the governors beyond the river, and gave

them the king's letters. Now the king had sent captains of the

army and horsemen with me. <army> <beyond> <came> <captains>

NE-2:10 When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the

Ammonite, heard [of it] , it grieved them exceedingly that there

was come a man to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.

NE-2:11 So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days. <came>

NE-2:12 And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me;

neither told I [any] man what my God had put in my heart to do

at Jerusalem:neither [was there any] beast with me, save the

beast that I rode upon. <any> <arose> <beast> <do> <few> <god>

NE-2:13 And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even

before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the

walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates

thereof were consumed with fire. <before> <broken> <consumed>

NE-2:14 Then I went on to the gate of the fountain, and to the

king's pool:but [there was] no place for the beast [that was]

under me to pass. <beast> <fountain> <gate> <no> <on> <pass>

NE-2:15 Then went I up in the night by the brook, and viewed the

wall, and turned back, and entered by the gate of the valley,

and [so] returned. <back> <brook> <entered> <gate> <night>

NE-2:16 And the rulers knew not whither I went, or what I did;

neither had I as yet told [it] to the Jews, nor to the priests,

nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did

the work. <did> <had> <jews> <knew> <neither> <nobles> <nor>

NE-2:17 Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we [are]
